Glad it's of use. I found out about it through Jarett Kobek, in his book "Only Americans Burn in Hell". He quotes this location in LA which you see turning into a tent city as you scroll through the time line.
"In 2007 AD, Google introduced Google Street View.
Google Street View was a massive invasion of privacy.
It worked like this: Google bought cameras that could take a full 360-degree image.
Google strapped these cameras atop cars, and then hired people to drive these cars around America, while the camera took photographs every five feet. Then, using GPS geolocation, Google matched the images taken by the cameras to virtual locations on Google Maps.
You could put an address into Google Maps and see that location’s real-world appearance at the exact moment when Google committed a privacy violation.
In 2014 AD, a timeline feature was introduced, which allowed the user to view the full history of Google’s privacy violations.
In some places, this didn’t mean anything, because Google had only sent a car out once.
In major cities, like Los Angeles, you could use the Street View timeline to look at a dense archive of imagery.
Reader, here is a game that you can play.
Go to Google Maps and search for “5th Street & Crocker Los Angeles.”
Go to Street View.
Google will display its most recent invasion of privacy.
If you’re savvy, you’ll be able to figure out how to use the timeline.
If you aren’t, ask a friend.
Go to the earliest image on the timeline, which should be from 2007 AD.
What you will see is an intersection in Skid Row.
While not in the best shape, it is not overrun with human misery.
Now move forward through the timeline.
Watch as the years pass by and watch as the human misery accumulates. Watch as the tents rise up. Watch as the suffering mounts. Watch as the bullshit con of America fails its most vulnerable citizens. Watch as liberal democracy dies.
And, yes, reader, it is sad.
And, yes, it is a shame.
But here we are.
You and me.
Or as they say in Turkish: sen ve ben bebek.
And we’re still doing nothing.
Worse than HRH!
But doing nothing is better than Google, a corporation which has decided that, facing a social cataclysm, the appropriate course of action is to violate the privacy of the homeless and then post the evidence on the Internet."
