This is being done all over the country. I lived in Houston in the mid 90's and we had to go to the central mailboxes in our subdivision to get mail. In the Raleigh, NC area all new subdivisions over the past 7 or 8 years have been built this way.

I don't understand how using real USPS employees is supposed to be saving any money but I guess we will have to see if it actually hurts service.
