seen a few houses that have been blurred out. Some really nice, others nothing special. Not law enforcement officers either.

What kind of strings do you have to pull to get this done?

I honestly think a lot if it was a glitch by Google. Our house is suddenly blurred and neither my wife nor I requested it.

I don't appreciate you posting about my house with that kind of attitude...

Like the previous comment said, you can request online. If the appraisal district wants to know that I have new windows and a new roof, they actually have to drive out to my house to view it in person, and they're WAY too lazy for that.

You can go down the full alley way for our street but the street view skips five homes from either direction. Was told it was because one of our neighbors was a Raytheon bigwig; but I don't really know. Nothing is blurred out from map view.

I feel like having a blurred out house draws much more attention than not having your house blurred out. Everytime I've come across one, it just makes me curious why and who lives there.

The Amityville horror house is not only blurred out, but the entire block so you can't narrow down which house it is.

You can request to have your house blurred out on Street View, but apparently it can't be undone.

Lots of poors in this thread who don't have driveways long enough to where your house can't be seen from the street. What a shame.

Don't do it!! It just lets the fbi know you're hiding something!

Some people's houses are nice enough they want them to be seen.

Edit: I just realized who I responded to and it was a joke. My house if blurred, we don't know why, and it's kinda annoying.

Thanks, I did the request to blur last night around midnight. Already got an email confirming my request will be honored

If you figure out how to undo it, please let me know.

I've outsmarted Google.

My house is a cardboard box under an I-35 bridge and I move to another part of Austin whenever the Po-Po comes after us.

Street view never catches me.

I really just want people to see my front yard and be jealous. I'm quite proud of it. The house is nice and all, but the landscaping is the money shot.

The real trick is blurring your house so that people who drive by can't see it. That costs extra.

I was outside showing my weenier. That is why the blur in front of my house is so big.
