It's even possible (recommended by the books) to have separate tables for
streets, cities, states, countries etc. However, normalisation up to, say,
4NF ain't easy to implement and support. I'd also apprectiate someone
sharing real life experience.
As to your particular problem, I'd definitely start with having users
separated from addresses. Especially if the database would complicate and
other user info is likely to be stored in your DB.
