The real estate agent HAS to post your pictures if you want to sell the house, so your comparison makes no sense.
Who uses the census data about bedroom/bathrooms and for what purposes? I honestly don't know. Maybe Devil's Advocate might have some insight into that.

And the comparison makes perfect sense -- people supporting Harper on this issue time and again bring up the fact that they don't want to disclose the number of bedrooms/bathrooms in their residence because...I don't really know why, and I don't think they do either, since they'll gladly list that information for the world to see when they want to sell their home. If someone can explain to me how that question is so egregiously "intrusive", I'm all ears.
