I like that the house numbers do not show at ground level for two reasons: one is that it is not just another suburban street with houses, but a bog you can interact with and numbers would detract from the overall swampiness. The other reason is that it makes me use other methods to remember where my home is. My place is near the pond and if I go up the wrong ladder, I just have to hop in the direction of the numbers to get home. I think it's kinda fun.
