New Report Delves Into Poor Working Conditions at an Apple Maps 'Black Site'

I'll take that as a compliment coming from you, once again your logic is off as you won't be making any vacation decisions based on houses in suburban neighborhoods but even if somehow that's your thing, 100 percent of the houses won't be blocked but even if they are, go check out the pictures of houses in the neighborhood up for sale on real estate sites, go research the public stats on that neighborhood.

Anyone renting on Airbnb is not going to blur their house and street view blur does not block the view. If you have some inane reason to view Average Joe's suburban/rural/city house who wants his or her privacy then drive to that location.

Or one of my tenants could send Apple his/her power bill to blur MY house, and then I will have to deal with Apple to unblock it. If it's visible from the public street, it should be visible in Street View. If I don't want my house to be in Street View, it should not be visible from a public street.

There are some countries that banned Google and Apple from running their 360-degree-camera equipped vehicles on their roadways. I respect that decision. For me, it's either no Street View, or Street View with all publicly seen houses unblurred.

You don't have to respond.

You are free to start your own tech company and commence the digital mapping of the entire globe. Or if you are so highly concerned with your tenants blurring your house, you are free to create a website, take nice snapshots of your house, place your name/address/pictures of your house and anyone with Google who encounter an Apple Maps blur, well they will see your results on Google Page 1 and they can see your house in all of its glory.
