That's beside the point. The reality is, it wouldn't take much for someone to confuse an innocent person's address with a criminal's here.

Also, I'm not currently living there, but at the time, it was what I could afford, and it was where my job was. At least today, they have directional markers on the roads, but that doesn't always reduce the confusion, either.

There are areas of the city (yes, within the city limits) that are only accessible by poorly maintained, and often unmarked, dirt roads, and I've witnessed emergency vehicles attempting to locate a call and just driving back and forth with their lights/sirens going until they find the place. Even when the fire trucks can see the smoke rising, often the straightest path is not accessible to them. It's pretty much flat desert, and you can see for more than 100 miles to the west, 20 miles to the east (Sandia Mountains) and more than 50 miles to the north and south. The roads are just that bad.
