Comment(by robe):

 More examples of this issue:


 {{{
 1798 PASEO DEL CAJON, PLEASANTON, CA 94566
 }}}

 Doesn't geocode right but this does: with a bad rating but returns right
 answer


 {{{

 SELECT pprint_addy(addy), ST_AsText(ST_SnapToGrid(geomout,0.0001)) As
 coord, rating
         FROM geocode('1798 PSO DEL CAJON, PLEASANTON, CA 94566',1) As g;
 }}}

 Behavior of pretypabrs is a little different from highway.  Both require
 fixes in the normalize_address so I'll probably add another column in
 street_typelookup to fix these.
 Most often if it has a pretype it doesn't have a street type that falls at
 the end.  Though in some cases it can have both.
