[Talk-us] Addresses and Tiger

[Dale Puch]

Can/should this be done with relations instead of separate paths?  The
idea is to have it stick to the road.  With this it creates a lot more
nodes, and there is no easy way to manually get the spacing right
between the road and the addresses if something is moved.  Also the
spacing needed is render dependent.

It looks good now, I'm just worried about the maintainability for the future.
Wouldn't having the addresses connected to the road better for routing as well?
