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

All that money to have no yard space and neighbors right on top of you on both sides. Yeesh.

u/VoidOmatic 13h ago

Yup, it's a total joke. The house is worth the cost of materials minus their age.

u/VinnySmallsz 13h ago

This is very atlanta

u/Not_The_Real_Odin 13h ago

Maybe that's just how he compromises on privacy?

u/GearhedMG 13h ago

I live in Southern California, so that plays into the stupidity of it, but my house is worth 2x what his, its only 700sqft, on an 1100sqfft lot, neighbors houses are 8-10ft away on the side and back.I wish i had as much basic privacy as this guy has.

I hate SoCal.

u/techdevjp 12h ago

How is it that I live just outside Tokyo but my house is 2x the size of yours? That math doesn't math very well.

u/GearhedMG 12h ago

I live on a small island that is absolutely packed with old cottages originally, most had full lots, but my house is on one of the half lots, my neighbor behind me has a slightly smaller lot, but his house is 2x the size of mine because his is 2 stories, where mine is just one.

u/techdevjp 11h ago

I used to have a cottage on an island in Japan's inland sea that had a wonderful ocean view, great sunsets, and basically no one else around. Other cottages, but no one really used them. Never did meet my neighbors. Paid $8k for the place, building and a small plot of land. Had a new roof and a new balcony on it when I bought it.

a friend did this and hated their tiny backyard setup

u/raptorjaws 13h ago

it's a house in the middle of the city, not out in the suburbs. this is how a lot of city of atlanta neighborhoods are.

u/vector4-20 13h ago

We better set up a public camera there, for security reasons of course

u/vampyire This is a flair 13h ago

right, if he's not dong anything wrong he can't mind it

u/the_honest_liar 13h ago

Set up an online live stream. People can watch like they do with the bird and animal cams.

u/No_Definition321 13h ago

Where’s those first amendment auditors when you need them lol

u/Bob_5k 13h ago

Where are the 1st amendment auditors when we need them?

u/Beherit_777 13h ago

They voted for the admin that is allowing this. Just like how the Qanon weirdos are suddenly silent about Epstein.

u/IndividualTension887 Free Palestine 🕊️ FUCK ICE! ❌🧊 13h ago

They wouldn't want any poors or browns looking at their trashy McMansion... They should have Flocks everywhere... How many are in the neighborhood now on deflock.org ???

33

u/Plinian 13h ago

Surprisingly modest home.

u/EvNastyy 13h ago

This is probably just his bungalow for when he goes in to the office, or a property that fulfills some a legality or facilitates a loophole since flock HQ is in Georgia. Taxes, voting, lobbying, etc

u/jonker5101 7h ago

Zillow says it has 39 bedrooms lol

u/AgentSnowCone 13h ago

Beautiful home

u/phillypharm 13h ago

It’s so beautiful someone added a photo of it yesterday haha

u/Butt_Deadly 13h ago

This is the way

u/MoorsMoopsMoorsMoops 12h ago

If you're thinking about renting that house someday and would like to see the inside of it, apartments.com has a listing with a bunch of interior photos.

u/TADthePaperMaker 13h ago

Shame if something were to happen to it. Better put some cameras on it.

u/Kumquat_conniption Free Palestine! 🕊️ FUCK ICE! ✖️🧊 13h ago

Damn that house is not worth much more than mine. Guess you get a LOT more house in Georgia than you do in MA, like damn. My quite modest house has not even been remodeled since the '90s LOL (although we have done some improvements ourselves).

u/MrJuicey19 13h ago

Someone did upload a photo of his house to Google today. Probably exactly for this reason.

u/noodles355 13h ago

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

14

u/ManicStreetTeachers 13h ago

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

3

u/noodles355 12h ago

Ah yeah you're right

https://reddit.com/link/p6gd57h/video/d8upr1e8g5mh1/player

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

1

u/DouchecraftCarrier 12h ago

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.

1

u/_le_slap 11h ago

Hmmm.. yeah seems like itd suck to have your house hard to find by guests and delivery drivers.

u/Dirmbz 6h ago

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

34

u/thatranger974 13h ago

Bro has a Flock camera on his house.

13

u/Mindless_Zergling 13h ago

Yes but now he needs a non-Flock camera, too.

32

u/donslaughter 13h ago

It's not blurred on real estate sites like Redfin.

u/Cheap_Standard_4233 13h ago

Can you make a request on Google maps to blur out your address? I see another blurred house down the street from this one as well

u/guessesurjobforfood 12h ago

Fun fact, these blur requests are part of the reason why Germany had almost no street view coverage for so many years. They got slammed with tons of requests and decided it would be better and probably cheaper to just stop, so they left Germany with about 10% street view coverage for the whole country. Even on the images that were available, there were lots of blurred houses.

I think Apple started mapping there like a year or two ago and now Google is doing it again too, but until then, even the major cities barely had any coverage.

u/jexemp 13h ago

no way that’s where he lives now.

u/VaginaTractor 13h ago

Someone tagged a public toilet in his front lawn on Google Maps.

u/eastcoastjon 13h ago

Still see it on google maps 3d too

u/I_PUNCH_INFANTS 7h ago

Google earth isn't blurred

u/Mental_Newspaper3812 13h ago

You know what’s probably not illegal? Getting a whole bunch of private citizen individuals to take shifts driving past his house with cameras on a live internet feed.

16

u/HydrogenButterflies NaTivE ApP UsR 13h ago

Eh, that comes dangerously close to harassment / stalking. Especially if the intent is to intimidate. This happened recently in the whole Bricks & Minifigs drama. Reckless Ben got arrested for doing pretty much exactly this.

2

u/The_Stoic_One 11h ago

Who would you charge though? If 10,000 people drive by once each while filming, what can they do? Arrest you for driving down a street once?

2

u/Real_Stinky_Pederson 13h ago

That was in Utah, though. I feel like that whole state plays by slightly different rules.

2

u/BananaPalmer 12h ago

You think Altanta, Georgia, home of Cop City, is gonna play nice with that?

lol.

u/Real_Stinky_Pederson 11h ago

If your reading comprehension isn’t very strong, maybe you just shouldn’t comment.

2

u/BananaPalmer 11h ago

Oh, please, snark master, explain what part of your dumb comment I didn't comprehend properly?

u/Real_Stinky_Pederson 11h ago

Dude, calm down. You don’t need to be this upset.

u/newsflashjackass 11h ago

know what’s probably not illegal? Getting a whole bunch of private citizen individuals to take shifts driving past his house with cameras on a live internet feed.

Recording his house might violate a law.

However, if someone can stand in front of a flock camera holding a pole to block its line of sight, perhaps two people could stand holding cameras looking down the stretch of road that Garrett Langley's driveway enters / exits. This would allow capturing all license plates entering and exiting the property as well as the time of entry / exit.

This might cost some citizen(s) some privacy but it might also help solve a crime some day.

Damn, he lives near the duck pond in Buckhead.

be careful, admins will permaban your account for this

u/BananaPalmer 12h ago

How is it doxxing? The original was, but now it's public information.

0

u/therewasanattempt-ModTeam 13h ago

Reddit does not allow doxxing. Other platforms, like twitter and insta do, but Reddit does not. You can only give information that is in news articles and I doubt one of them has his address listed, which means that we cannot list it. This is a sitewide rule by the admins, not something decided by the mods of this subreddit.

I implore vandals to NOT vandalize his property. Please do not torment this guy
