Add addr:street to the house (either building outline or the node).

OSRM uses nominatim to do address lookups, nominatim is currently (due 
to the redaction process) not being updated. As soon as we have a new 
ODBL licenced planet the nominatim database will be reloaded and we will 
have very fast updates again (and there should be substantially less 
issues with place nodes).

Right now I would simply test routes between stuff that survived the 
redaction.

Yes.
