Some addresses have a high geocoding failure rate #2659

I noticed that some addresses tend to fail geocoding at a higher rate than others.

Ex. https://staging.opentreemap.org/geocode?address=990+S+Spring+St%2C+Spring+Twp%2C+Pennsylvania%2C+USA&key=GST7YMc0AM9UOsE3GY8tIS9GOghnYnwZIip_GQypG1c915EXYBNHZ1cpOh9bZgKZQoc3YSyaagDIZhkZMswICRbuGT4a1gDWCRcGBN4pYc5LDMgu7chIBN4qOgDMYTWQZM9M1g8QCRypIoFF&xmin=-8717335.553164283&ymin=4931915.658413834&ymax=5031915.658413834&xmax=-8617335.553164283

If you refresh that page repeatedly, it will fail to geocode about 50% of the time.

Could somebody else confirm this?
