I'd say more research is needed before we call that conclusive.  At least 
in Oregon and Washington, street boundaries often extend beyond the 
street for service access and future expansion reasons (plus the local 
governments don't deem it particularly fair to tax folks for property 
extending into the street, preferring to condemn the protruding portions).

I wonder if it's a western/eastern thing, with county surveyors being a 
tad on the overwhelmed side back east.
