Germany does not need that, right?
Comments
No, we don't need that.
We like it blurry. It inspires your creativity.
Note to travellers: The natives in Germany believe that you will steal their soul if you photograph their home.
@Oliver: LOL
When it was introduced, I found it funny how those houses actually attract more attention than the visible ones.

Being a former native of Germany I really don't understand what the problem is having a random picture of your house, business or apartment building on the internet. Now, as long its not a live picture :)
Now, do I agree they should collect WiFi data or anything like that while cruising the streets - NO.
What is especially fun is that the Google persons name that posted that sounds quite German.
