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.

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

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