"Millions of Americans would no longer get mail delivered to their door but would have to go to communal or curbside boxes instead under a proposal advancing through Congress." So what do think of this? Is this the wave of the future? Meanwhile postal rates are going up and service is becoming more limited.

Just like anything else in life there are changes. And BIG changes are needed to STOP the USPS from loosing billions EVERY year.
"Converting to communal or curbside delivery would save $2 billion annually, Issa said, quoting from estimates that door delivery costs $380 annually per address compared with $240 for curbside and $170 for centralized methods. He said less than 1 percent of all addresses nationwide would undergo a delivery change annually and that communal boxes offer a safe, locked location for packages, doing away with the need for carriers to leave packages on porches and subject to theft and bad weather.The Postal Service reported a $1.9 billion loss for the first three months this yea.
"The Republican-controlled House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, on an 18-13 party-line vote, approved a bill Wednesday to direct the U.S. Postal Service to convert 15 million addresses over the next decade to the less costly, but also less convenient delivery method."

Of course. You wouldn't think that trying to cut the cost of doing business by any segment of the government, and thereby save some tax dollars, would ever be promoted by a Democrat, would you?
