WRONG
Street numbers are typically designated by a City, Town or Development Authority (in cooperation with local government) to simplify addresses and to avoid confusion for (2) entities ... public safety and the U.S. Post Office.
In some cases, the 1st number or 2, with be a region/area locator, followed by a sequential number on the particular street (with gaps left for future expansion and the typical even/odd sides of the street).
I don't know how The Village numbering system works, but I can assure you, it was designed with public safety and convenience in mind.
