My old house is blurred out on Google Street View

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.

Maybe they think it’s ugly

I haven’t lived there since 2010, so no.

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.

I “sold” it back to Bank Of America.

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.
