Google maps blur out a house in street view?

[Jstpssng]

The Google street view of our place is so old it is irrelevant. The place looks nothing like it did then. Satellite view is updated regularly.
Also if your home has been on the market in the past, Type in your address and it will still be there for everyone to see. Easy to find what all the last owners paid for the property too.
No privacy any more.

We've always been able to tell what somebody paid for a tract. Every transfer includes a fee which is based on purchase price... that fee is public information.

There never was any privacy in the past either. You can take an address, go down to the county office, and find out all the information on who owns it, what they paid for it, what they sold it for, how many sq ft, taxes, land, etc....

Just now most places have that all on-line, which saves you the trip. But it was always public information. Just easier to access now.

Actually, I never "lived" there... my parents did. We did build the barn one Christmas... pretty surprised it's still standing :laughing:

I buy (too much) stuff off of Craig's List and I normally "drive" via. google maps street view to the place beforehand. I love that they spent the time (and money) building that data base.

The blur just surprised me...

I have Google Earth Pro. Same view as MossRoad posted - post#10. However - there are some locations where the final/sharp picture takes quite a while to load. This was not one of these locations.

The street view of 105 Shary Creek Ln. is over 13 years old. Sure looks different now. That is where I live by the way.

Post 10 is an aerial view. If you drag the little yellow guy down so you get to street view, you'll see the issue.

I know that. The street view is blurred, but the satellite view is not.
