That doesn't sound very convenient for the people who live on the other

 But it's very convenient for the post office.  Who do you think
gets the final say?  It's good for the developer, too.  They
don't have to faff about putting a mailbox on or in front of
each house.
 IIRC "She Who Must Not Be Named" had some problem with her cluster
box and we had an extended discussion of the subject some years back.
 

I'm not afraid to say her name; Gary is the one who thought we'd all keep talking about her after she left.  That didn't happen.  She does get an occasional mention.  Julie seemed to think she couldn't get a copy of her mailbox key from the Post Office, for reasons which were never made clear.  Then again, she was always making excuses for every little thing that was f'd up in her life.

I live in an older neighborhood, which developed gradually over
several decades.  The mailboxes are all on my side of the street,
which is convenient for me.  The street isn't so busy that it's
a hazard for my neighbors to cross the street -- unlike the first
house I owned, which I bought on a two-lane road that was converted
to a four-lane road a couple years after we moved in.
 

Crossing a four lane road to get to the mailbox would be problematic.
