Why a garage door reversing usually isn't a broken opener

Daily use across a fully owner-occupied city — and what it means for a garage door

Garage Door Reversing in a city the post office still calls Houston
The U.S. Postal Service does not accept "Hilshire Village" as a mailing city name, so every address in the city is addressed as Houston even though Hilshire Village has run its own incorporated government since April 15, 1955. A garage door reversing search for this address often turns up Houston results first, even though the city itself is a separate, self-governing place.
