I love Google street view. It makes it easy to navigate to new places, because you know what the store or whatever will look like. Half the time, there are no visible street address numbers when you're looking for a place, but with Google, you can see the storefront, so you can recognize it when you get there.
As every picture they take is on a public street, and as they're only taken once in a great while, I'm not the least bit worried about it. It's not like it's constant surveillance (which is what I REALLY worry about).
Yes, some people will misuse it. But even more people will find it useful. Should the people who find it useful be denied it because of the few who will misuse it, or the ones who are worried it will be misused?
Barring some overwhelming argument against it, I'm content to let it continue.
