I really never understood why Germans don't like to expose the outside of their public facing houses to Street View. It would be very frustrating not to be able to see in advance where I'll be going to the next day and prepare accordingly. Examples: Is that shop really at that address? Is there some parking in front of that house? I've been using Street View like that for ages.

What is more important, your convenience or the resident's right to privacy?

The residents should decide because they are, welll, residents. My partner's parents had their house photographed with the garage door open showing a rock & roll poster with the f-word on the inside of the door. A French guy was photographed while taking a leak in the bushes in front fo his house, that he was trimming. He sued Google and won.

Their right, of course, but I wonder what happened in Germany that didn't happen at that scale in any other part of the world AFAIK.

or "I want to break into the house, which windows are hardest for the neighbors to monitor"

so it kind of depends on what you mean by "I'll be going to the next day and prepare accordingly."
