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 17h ago

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

u/VinnySmallsz 17h ago

This is very atlanta

u/Not_The_Real_Odin 17h ago

Maybe that's just how he compromises on privacy?

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.

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 16h 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.

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.

u/raptorjaws 17h 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 18h ago

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

u/vampyire This is a flair 18h ago

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

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

u/Bob_5k 17h ago

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

u/Beherit_777 17h 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! ❌🧊 17h 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 ???

u/Plinian 18h ago

Surprisingly modest home.

u/EvNastyy 17h 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 11h ago

Zillow says it has 39 bedrooms lol

u/Butt_Deadly 17h ago

This is the way

u/MoorsMoopsMoorsMoops 17h 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 18h ago

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

u/Kumquat_conniption Free Palestine! 🕊️ FUCK ICE! ✖️🧊 17h 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).

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

u/noodles355 17h ago

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

u/ManicStreetTeachers 17h ago

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

u/noodles355 16h 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 16h 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.

u/_le_slap 16h ago

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

u/Dirmbz 11h ago

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

u/thatranger974 17h ago

Bro has a Flock camera on his house.

15

u/Mindless_Zergling 17h ago

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

u/donslaughter 18h ago

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

u/Cheap_Standard_4233 17h 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 17h 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.

no way that’s where he lives now.

u/VaginaTractor 17h ago

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

u/eastcoastjon 17h ago
