What's the reasoning for censoring buildings from street view??
because nobody knows how the internet works, so it's scary. they are looking for houses to break into in streetview!!11 (satelite view is fine, though, because there you can only see the whole house and it's surroundings which is nothing one can plan a burglary with...)
Also there's a lot of architechts who fancy themselves to be Artists, and want nothing to do with having people living in and/or using and debasing their Art.
Nor do they want random people looking at it without paying homage to the exalted being that is the Artist.
