I live in the country and am all for rural delivery and don't mind if the post office loses money. It is a service.
In Canada, they have a bank of maybe 50 locked boxes that serves an entire neighborhood. You have to get in the car or take a little walk to get your mail. I suppose that is no different than having a post office box- which we used to. This could be in our future in certain places.
I have to say I am spoiled by having my mailbox at the foot of my front steps. Even my neighbors have to come down and get theirs. (private road)
