I would disagree with this - reviewing should include verifying the
street name. If you just check against aerials, especially in an area
where TIGER is imprecise (hence a suburban street may be drawn in the
rough location of the next one over), you could let many name errors
through.
Depending on the state or local government, you may be able to verify
names against an official dataset. Otherwise subdivision plats work for
the endless suburban superblocks that nobody wants to survey.
