Spelled-out house numbers

[Brandon]

People should just paint huge numbers from roof to ground on the side of their homes.

The Post Office would still miss these and still deliver to the wrong address.

Here's a house not far from me that has the spelt out numbers.

NOTE: The house I posted is currently abandoned (for a while actually) and is for sale so no privacy issues exist here.

Heh.  There wouldn't be privacy issues anyway.

Exactly. There is no reasonable expectation of privacy when something is in plain view in a public space.

I have no doubt that there are some people out there who still regard numbered addresses on their properties as nothing more that a part of a sinister conspiracy plot to take over they wold.

If if abandoned, the property is still owned by someone; whether it be an individual, bank, government or other entity.  But either way, there's no privacy issue.

It was most recently owned by a church.

Anyway, I spotted another house with spelled out house numbers. Those are so rare now they really stand out.

Even though the church doesn't pay tax on it, if they still own the property they have the potential liability risk if someone is injured on their property, especially if they've been neglecting it.
