No, a complete street address portability system.

Assuming that I live on 1337 Main Street, I should be able to keep that
address even if I move to a different part of town, and I should be able
to use it for all purposes, including when I give my home address to a
cab driver, and it should just work.  Why can't we get some reasonable
legislation like that enacted?
