# You can attach a place to it. This place will then be the effective address, with possible alternate locations (see the place dialog) indicating how eg this place is called today as opposed to when the event happened.
# You can share that place between people and families. With addresses there is no way to check if an address is already in your database - unless you remember it. That makes it unlikely to ''discover'' that two people actually lived at the same address. You can also filter on place city, eg give me all residence events that are in a place with city ''Berlin''.
# Hence, you can search places and see not just what happened in a certain city, but also who lived (resided) there. That's also not possible using the 'address' system. This is a timeline of a place with all events that happened there.
# On a timeline of a person you can see the event and infer details, eg a person marries before or after moving to a new house.
