IIRC the proposed legislation died in committee, but I can tell you that all the business districts of Los Angeles that I have looked at are already blurred beyond any usefulness. Street View has turned into a joke and is utterly useless in this area. One might just as well look at a paper map and imagine the place in your mind's eye, for all Street View is worth.
The blurring is such that large business signage cannot be clearly read from across the street and architectural details are mostly indiscernible. You certainly can't read addresses. From what I've seen residential neighborhoods are better, but in most cases there is not much reason to look at them.

Most of L.A. is already blurred like a bad case of astigmatism.
