I'm surprised google hasn't endeavored to capture multiple shots of locations at different times and aggregated that data to create unobstructed views along each street.
Why allow people, cars and trucks to obstruct signage? If they don't help identify the location or give you a feel for the "street view", remove them.
Or perhaps the demand for cars like the Prius has been satiated for the moment. For many of those buyers, the value of owning a prius was not in the car per se, but in the identity that comes with owning that car.
They want to make a social statement so they bought a Prius. Most of those people now have their Prius, the cars sit on the lot longer, so Toyota offers incentives.
As for the oil price increase of 73-83, it created an opportunity in the marketplace that Japanese manufacturers brilliantly exploited by building smaller, more reliable cars than the Big 3.
If you really want people to buy the kind of cars you prefer, find a way besides politics, guilt, insults and whining to persuade them. The best way is to be an entrepreneur, and build or retrofit them a better car.

There's that tourist remover project that seems relevant.
Privacy shouldn't even be an issue because the people simply don't need to be in the photos.
