AOL.

The suburb in which a politician lives can be very relevant indeed (at least in Australia; I don't know the situation in other countries).  The suburb in which a film actor lives is not something we need to know.  It depends on the specific circumstances of each person, but I'd say the vast majority of those living people we write about, a) don't need to have any more detail than city name included, and b) prefer it that way.


Cheers,
