Since years I have yearned that USPS lets you rent a PO Box. Maybe divide the country in 5 to 10 parts, and allocate a special zip code for these. The po box is nothing but just a forwarding address. You as a user control its final destination in usps.com account. It is like a link shortener.

Somebody sends a letter to that address. Regular mail system forwards it to machines. There, machines stick a yellow or some color strip on it with its actual destination, then it comes to you. You could move and simply update usps.com address.

I think in some ways this is better, because I trust the USPS to not actually reveal the true address behind the PO Box. So you can still use the "link shortener" but behind a privacy wall.

Sure, maybe you can't use this for taxi rides, but that's a small price to pay.
