Who took the street view picture of my house?

Profile picture for homeee
How was my house selected to be photographed at street level but other neighbors were not?  Are there privacy issues with the amount of information you put on Zillow?  Can I have my house completely removed from Zillow?

As far as I know you cannot take your house off the site because most of the info posted is public record. You can read Zillow answer to that here. I think the street shots come from Bing now, but I am not sure. Right now Zillow has an ariel view of my house, but Google has a detailed street shot. I am happy that the yard looked nice when they took it, but it is a little unnerving that a photo of my house is online. My understanding is that street shots and satellite shots are both legal if taken from public property like the street or sidewalk.
