Thus, the only way to unhook the wires legally for a demolition that is
safe is to request the power company to cut the wires.

There is a way to get your home remove from Google maps. I forget the

mooning the Google car doing street maps as they drove by. You have to

It seems to be a true story but so many things are wrong:

A house that's to be removed would have a demolition order clearly

Typically a lot of that stuff is already pixelated out (faces, cars tags, etc.)
but apparently Google will do that for you if it was missed and you report it.

I just Street Viewed my house. The latest images was taken when no cars
were in my driveway, but my neighbor's tags are blurred out (two cars) and
the faces of a grandmother and the 2 kids in the stroller are also blurred
out.

Here's another fun thing about Street View: You can often tell when the
images of the same area were taken at very different times.

If I "walk" up my street from west to east, my living room drapes are
closed and there are no cars in my neighbor's driveway. If I walk past
my house and "turn around" to face it, someone has opened my drapes and
my neighbor has 3 visitors.If I then take one step towards my house, my
drapes are closed and the visitors have left. ;-)

I recently "walked" down a dead end street. The last house on the left
was very neat, clean and painted red. When I got to the very end of the
street and turned to look directly at the house, it was run down, over-
grown and dirty white. When I tried to turn again to walk back down the
street the other way, I could not "get out" of the image that showed the
old version of the house. It was as if the Street View database stepped
out of the present and found the old image, but couldn't get back to
present day because there was no new image for the exact location that
I standing at.

We (I) don't know those details. Both houses were damaged by a tornado. Perhaps
the wires were already down, the water/gas turned off and the family moved out.

According to another report...

"Homeowner Lindsay Diaz was unimpressed by the excuse, however, explaining that she had just applied for a builders permit to repair her home damaged by a Boxing Day tornado.

"I was driving home from work and I get a call from my neighbour," Ms Diaz told Kera News. "She's very frantic, crying and I asked her 'what's going on?' She said, 'a company came and demolished the house by mistake.'"

"When a structural engineer came out to see my home, he wrote a report stating that the home was structurally sound.

"One of the walls needed to be replaced, some of the rafters on the roof needed to be replaced, but the home was structurally sound and did not need to come down."

It sounds like it is possible that she wasn't actually living there and that
the damaged house appeared, for all intends and purposes, to be unoccupied.

I found 2 interesting - and contradictory - things in that clip:

Interesting:

1 - Apparently you can blur out any house you want. It doesn't even
have to be yours.

2 - The banners at the bottom of the screen were more confrontational than
informative:

Taking Back What's Yours
Web Of Controversy
Fight Back!

Contradictory:

1 - Apparently you can blur out any house you want. It doesn't even
have to be yours.

2 - The banners at the bottom of the screen talk about Fighting Back and
Taking Back What's Yours, yet apparently I can F with anyone I want by
having Google blur out their house or business.

That's not "Fighting Back" or "Taking Back What's Yours". That's harassment
of other people.

Disclaimer: I am assuming that anyone can blur anyone's house. Maybe not. I do
know that I submitted a problem a few weeks ago and within hours the problem
was "fixed". There is a house in my neighborhood that had a business marker
and name next to it for some kind of eatery or deli or something like that.
The house is owned by a very nice elderly couple.

I reported it as being just a house and the business marker was gone within
hours. Afterwards I realized that for all I know, the owner was actually
running a business (or a tax scam) out the house. Regardless, I was apparently
able to have the marker removed from a business that I have nothing to do
with just by clicking a few buttons.

Now *that* is a Web Of Controversy.

there was a home in pittsburgh demolished by mistake. the owner was rehabbing the home at the time

the home they demolished featured a new roof, all new windows, new service entrance with new 200 amp breaker panel. the demo crew must of been idiots, and last i heard laswsuits were all occuring

the damaged house appeared, for all intends and purposes, to be unoccupied.




Thanks for a very logical explanation.

there was a home in pittsburgh demolished by mistake. the owner was rehabbing the home at the time

the home they demolished featured a new roof, all new windows, new service entrance with new 200 amp breaker panel. the demo crew must of been idiots, and last i heard laswsuits were all occuring

A lot of cities are demolishing homes considered to be abandoned eyesores. There are times when city crews destroy the wrong house. How can they demolish the wrong house if it's obvious that it's not abandoned? o_O

The big question I have about crews demolishing the wrong house is why would they destroy a house that had all the utilities hooked up, a running refrigerator full of food, rooms full of furniture, beds, TV, clothing in the closets and all manner of personal belongings? WTF? o_O

How do you know that all of those things were true? I don't see any of those items in the
debris field.

Another report said that the "wrong" house was tornado damaged and needed a wall
and roof trusses replaced. We don't know for a fact that the owner was living there
at the time.

I do recall some news reports of the wrong home being demolished and it wasn't in disrepair or unoccupied. It was full of the homeowner's belongings. I haven't found the exact story, I'd have to search for a while to find it. O_o

The foreclosure next to me had 2 10 yard dumpsters full of crap in in
and the original owner was still local. People accumulate a lot of
stuff they will not move if they have to leave.

Yea, but would they move out and leave the utilities on and all their appliances behind? o_O

This woman did. The power was still on when the home finally went over
to the bank and it sat there almost 4 years unoccupied while the
process went on.

They may have wanted it to appear occupied. Don't know the whole story...

Stuff happens, the owner may come up smelling like a rose. The only thing
that cannot be recreated is personal effects; but did they get lost because
of the tornado or demo? Sorta like an old pair of shoes... They stink.
