Comment(by robe):

 hmm well only clue of what could have happened is this:

 {{{
 In preparation for the 2010 Census, Census Bureau employees walked
 virtually every street in the United
 States and Puerto Rico with the primary purpose of verifying and updating
 Census address lists. A second
 priority was to provide updates to the Census Bureau’s road network. For
 the first time census workers
 used handheld computers that captured GPS information and used this
 technology to improve both the
 address lists and the census road network.
 }}}


 Maybe MA tiger data got a lot of junk streets removed.  Perhaps California
 those new developments are in 2011 set.
