Pizzagate

Oddly enough no. Most of my life the numbers of the neighbours have been sequential, and still are.

In the US we put odd number addresses on one side of the street and even numbers on the other, and sometimes developments dont use all the numbers in the grid, skipping one or two per block.

For some reason in my town numbers are skipped. Yes odds on one side, evens on the other but while one would expect for instance, 312 to be next door to 314 instead it's 310 then 314, then 318. On the odd side of the street this conveniently means skipping x13, which may be the reason for it.

Super. Except when there is no other side of the block. I was born and raised in #8 and on either side were #7 and #9. Currently I live in #14 on either side of which are #13 and #15. Before I moved here, I lived in #7 on either side of which were #6 and #8...

And?

For some reason, house numbers up to 32 are missing from one side of my road. I've always assumed it was something to do with the DOS EMS specification and the plan was to swap in alternative house numbers as required.

I checked WebSleuths.com and they have nothing on Pizzagate, which is the best indicator that the story was BS.

I love this forum, but WebSleuths is on point with their discussions of crime, and unlike CTers, their members debate with the purpose of actually trying to solve mysteries. That's something CTer's could learn and grow from. Advancing a CT is not enough, especially in the case of Pizzagate where the pizza parlor became an easy target. This CT was fed by delusional people who hate Clinton and the Democrats, and by well-meaning people who, because of their personal backgrounds, are blind to facts.

Here's a fact, the FBI is currently tracking 250 Long-Haul serial killers in the US.

This is a real thing, some of these murders involve more than two killers making them conspiracies. Not the fun, safe Illuminati/CIA/ Bush-Cheney-Trump/Big Pharma/GMO/Whatever CT, but a real one involving people that share the highway with us every day.

You will never see this subject pop up here for debate. For CTers it is easier to go after phantoms, and reinterpret historical events because it is safe. People behind real conspiracies can hurt you: Biker Gangs, Prison/Street Gangs, and the people currently running illegal drugs in your neighborhood. I'm a good guy, and I don't believe in a code of silence, but I'm not going to go out of my way to tangle with the Hell's Angels or the Mexican Cartels (actual cabals engaged in broad scope of conspiracies which reach into state and city governments).

I've lived most of my life in prairie towns layed out in a grid from scratch with nothing but time in the way. I've seen missing address numbers arise from two sources. One, large groups of numbers are dropped here and there to make room for expansion such as apartments. Check your zoning in those neighborhoods. Usually somebody had a chunk of higher density planned as apartments, expansions subdivides, duplexes and whatnot. I could build a duplex or apartment-over-garage on my zoning, and there's room in the grid to add the address all up and down the block. A neighbor down the street did that a few years ago, but he didn't pay to add the address, he just lives "in the garage" that is "attached" by a breezeway to the legal address and rents the house out.

The other time I've seen numbers skipped is when the postmaster for the intentional prairie town got involved with the grid. Sequential streets in some towns will have sequential address gaps making it slightly harder to misdeliver the mail. That's usually only in the original township grid though, with subsequent grids not even aligning all the time.

Of course, nowadays developers throw the bloody entrails of a goat across a sacrificial sheet of OSB and base the road layout from there.
