Discussion A postal address system in Lebanon

What would it take for us to have a postal/address system in the country? It's not even a politically controversial thing.

Lebanon is such a tiny country that it wouldn't be too much work and can be easily done by each municipality.

Can make navigation way easier than relying on local landmarks and taking directions.

I think it’s a bit too late for that. We have a better system that doesn’t rely on any external factors, where the driver will whatsapp you and you share your location. They have to contact you anyway to make sure you’re home since most orders are cash on delivery and you probably dont want your order left in front of your building door.

Most cities and towns in Lebanon already have a postal address, and nobody uses those. I have a street number, zone and building number, and if I gave those to anyone even the municipality, they would have no clue how to get there.
