I wonder if it is for everyone? Punch in 8750 W Hustis Street, Milwaukee WI and see if the street that was once able to viewed, and the house itself on the corner is blurry for you.

Curiously, it’s NOT blurred out on Bing Streetside. Probably because no one uses Bing Streetside.

Isn’t it because of the murders?

Its cause you’re standing naked in the front yard, isn’t it?

Blurring your house out upon request is a thing, apparently: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/07/remove-google-street-view_n_5563939.html

The new owners are probably either famous, paranoid, or both.

I’m guessing that the current owner requested that it be redacted? IIRC, you can make Google do that - not that I’ve tried, because I could care less, personally.

I know you can, I’m just curious as to WHY they would...

Well, did you sell the house to nudists?

I’m going for option B. Based on the location and value of the property since the market crashed when I owned it.

It seems to me that you’re drawing attention to yourself by doing it, so yeah, I think it’s weird. Presume the current owner is at least marginally paranoid.

The new owners are afraid of the chemtrails.

The new residents made that request.

Here’s what you need to do....

Upload any photos you have of the house to Google so they show up when people look for the streetview.

I would like to arrange for any Google snoopers to see me loading a body into the back of my van while giving them the finger.
