I agree with Serge and Toby's post - this is old data that should be fixed.

I pulled the data from a Mapzen city extract (San Diego & Tijuana). There
are 488,571 address points. Looking at OSMI, the whole area has addresses
with abbreviated street names.

Serge, anything I can do to help you with the expansion bot, just let me
know. Knowing how to do this would help me down the road as we try to
figure out how to update address info from my local county.
