I meant and left out a key word; "most recent". Whoops!
I'm used to seeing yearly or every-other-year streetview updates for locations I look at regularly.
That said, might be mixing up my broader impression with the interval of satellite photo updates in the google earth history.
(but my bay area neighborhood does indeed have streetview history updating every year or so; obviously this is probably on the high end given proximity to tech companies...)
that's not a glamour shot, that's just a sunny day. the dirty little secret of the southern california coast is it is cloudy more than half the time. west la, downright depressing. they call it "the marine layer", i call it cloudy as fuck.
