Still? IIRC North Dakota tried to make that the law but it was struck down.

The supreme court upheld the requirement that IDs have a street address, but some (maybe most or all, not sure) of the tribal authorities were able to assign street names and reissue IDs in time.

We should all move to gps coordinates

GPS coordinates of houses can change, while the address should stay the same.

Do you mean if the same house is moved to a new location on the same lot? I'm finding this difficult to imagine.

No, I mean the movement of earth underneath the house, tectonic plates etc. Earthquakes are one obvious example:

To be fair, the cited displacement of 8 ft (average for non-earthquake situations is 0 to 10cm) is within the typical margin of error of a GPS. That is, the coordinate change is small enough not to matter for “election” purposes.

Addresses change a lot more often than gps coordinates. Streets get renamed, removed, or renumbered.

Fine... GPS coordinates as of a specific date.
