Sure right, CIDR never fixed the number of address's just the number of networks/subnets. The number of address's is still limited to 4,294,967,296 total with even less available to be used as regular ip address'. IPv6 was created for a reason and that was to overcome the ever growing ip address shortage. IPv6 has approx 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,770,000,000 address's, theoretically that should fix the shortage while allowing for more IP's per house/apartment. IP's for things like your refrigerator, stove, tv, cellphone, printer, and other stuff.
