text: Addresses for Shasta County are available on the counties GIS website. I was planning on adding it that way at some point. In the meantime the note is a good indicator for me or someone else doing on the ground surveying that the address just can't be seen. As opposed not being surveyed yet. 
  
  Also, I'm not sure how StreetComplete works, but it might be that without the note open note it will just recycle the question and ask it again. That's something I need to look into more though, but it doesn't really matter because of the other reasons I've given. Mainly that next time I walk by there I don't want to confuse this house for somewhere I haven't surveyed yet. It's not like it matters. There's zero time limit on how long notes can be open for.
