Thanks, but I'll pass. Currently, it's just a random house; but if I blurred it, it would stick out like a sore thumb and possibly attract attention.

I find these "privacy" features very funny. Not strictly streets-related, but there are also apps like Google Earth, satellites.pro and such. I find it funny how one such service decides to blur out military complexes of some countries while another one does not and displays them clearly in the satellite photos.
I did this a year ago, and as @[email protected] & @[email protected] mentioned: "if I blurred it, it would stick out" or "one blurred house on a street of unblurred houses probably creates more intrigue". However, others may have seen my blurred house and applied the same level of privacy. Now the map has four blurred houses, again possibly because I did it first. “When you say, ‘I have nothing to hide,’ you’re saying, ‘I don’t care about this right.’ ”
I wouldn't say my take is that I am not doing this because I have nothing to hide.
It is; I would be mindful that one blurred house on a street of unblurred houses probably creates more intrigue to anyone casually looking at that street.
Not to mention go one click either direction on street view and gasp you can see the house.
