The former home owner probably had to put that big ‘ol iron fence up just to keep BreakingBad fans from walking right up to the front door, expecting to be let in just to look around, as though it was a museum, open to the public, not a private residence.
True. From the article:
For Feil, the most rewarding part was what the sale meant to the family. “When they first agreed to have their house featured, they could never have anticipated how massive the show would become or the pivotal role the home would play in its legacy,” Feil said. “For years, they endured nonstop attention — at times even harassment — from fans. They deserved far more than what was originally negotiated, and seeing them ultimately reap meaningful rewards was incredibly gratifying.”
We drove past once, at a normal speed. No fence at that time, 2017, but you could tell the owners hated people stopping and gawking. It is striking how much that house exterior sticks in the mind from watching the series. You immediately imagine a pizza on the roof.
