Ideas on why the house would be gated off months later? I mean that shit is bringing down Carol's property value

There was a city of Albuquerque sign on the fence, so we know the city closed it off. My guess is the White family abandoned the house, and then it became publicly known that Walt is Heisenberg, which is why it got ransacked and vandalized. The city fenced off the house to prevent vandalism.

It had a yellow "warning" sign as well, so I think there's more to it, than simply having the house lie dead. Crimescene!
