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.

A blurred house in a row of unblurred ones would attract more attention.

One blurred house among many unblurred houses will attract attention toward the house.

Better to keep a thick hedge...

That's what i thought. I would probably have not only the only blurred house in the street, it would probably the only blurred house in the whole town

I did it and they blurred out my tree like it's in witness protection
