You can use addresses or residence events to record civic addresses. The choice is yours. Using addresses is simpler, but you cannot share them if more than one person lived at the same address at some point. Using residence events is more complicated since you then have to add a place to hold the address, but events and places can be shared. Aside from all that, I will still push for a single address dialog that can be used by both plain addresses and Place objects.
