Under a new cost saving plan, newly built homes in the United States are no longer entitled to mail delivery to their homes; Congress is considering extending this to all existing homes in the future.
Under a cost-saving plan by the U.S. Postal Service, Americans moving to newly built homes will not get mail delivered to their doors but instead will have to trek to the curb or neighborhood mailbox clusters, the agency said Tuesday.

More than 30 million American homes get door-to-door delivery and another 50 million get their mail dropped at their curbside mailboxes.
It's a cost savings measure.
The whiners don't like the cost and they don't like the solution.
Go figure.
Cool, since the postman has to walk LESS...let's make sure we slash pay across the board...
The point is to cut costs. Since this will result in spending less time delivering to each home, each postal carrier will have to serve more homes. Furthermore, the postal service currently doesn't charge enough to cover its costs, so folks like you are already getting more than you're paying for.
This isn't rocket science. It makes no sense to allow your own personal avarice to obscure the obvious.
