    <content type="html">Yeah, I hear you.&amp;nbsp; I was thinking of just an empty topic for use only with addresses.&amp;nbsp; Ugly, but so is having DC missing from addresses.&amp;nbsp; Maybe we should have a poll for which is worse :)</content>

    <content type="html">That's going to cause some bizarreness in terms of data, since some of the&amp;nbsp; data (like the properties on statistical region) apply equally to both the city and the district. To find out information about Washington, DC, users would have to know to look in two places.&amp;nbsp; But I do see your point about the addresses. I'm not sure what the best solution is right now.</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;I think we need to split this topic so we have &amp;quot;DC&amp;quot; to put as the state of a US address. (I get that it isn't a state, but it does belong in that field, just like PR.) It is odd because they are one and the same (I think?), but not sure how else to fill in addreses properly. &lt;/p&gt;</content>
