In case you ever wanted to blur your house from google street view you can. A little privacy i suppose, its pretty easy. you dont need a reason to do it. This probaly the only thing google lets opt out of which is cool.

      100% the Streisand effect! Blurred homes attract way more attention.

      The only time I heard someone justify blurring their home, it was “so that thieves don’t know where my cameras are”. But I’d think the opposite was true.
