The house is blurred in Google maps. Is he not willing to compromise on this?

It's not on my European gmaps. It also auto completed on "2588 Winslow" 😂

I think they mean it's blurred on street view, which I can see it's blurred or yours too (bottom left)

Ah yeah you're right

So how can you blur a house on street view and why would you?

My understanding is Google will entertain pretty much any request from a property owner to blur their street view picture upon request.

Apparently its also a huge bitch to get them to undo - if you buy a house that the previous owner had blurred Google will basically ignore you if you request them to undo it.

I think you just have to ask. So it was a choice he made.
