Why would I do this? It’s just a door with a number on it.
You can confirm a person's residence by the cars in front of their house. Cross reference objects in the background and if not blurred objects and features in their front yard. Blurring doesn't totally stop this as I've tracked down people's houses from satellite imagery and Facebook pictures to confirm where they lived.
Unless you're renting, your home ownership is public information. You can lookup anybody in your state's public records and know what properties they own and what their mortgage for it is.
Yea. I don't really care either. I don't see the point in making the effort. Unless I am missing something.
All it seems like is an easy way for google to link your address to the rest of your data.
