A-List residents of Miami's ritziest road are branded 'rich morons' over plans to close it off with security gates to keep the public out
Miami's wealthiest residents were deemed 'rich morons' over plans to close off their road to the public.
North Bay Road in Miami Beach is among the wealthiest streets in the US, with stunning properties going for eight-figure sums.
The four-mile corridor has been home to A-listers like David and Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Lopez, Shakira or Cindy Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber.
Now, the affluent residents want to install security gates that would effectively keep everyone else out of their street.
They claim that the measure is necessary to ward off a string of car thefts and crime.
Adam Bergman, who bought a North Bay Road home in January, told the Wall Street Journal: 'I was expecting to be in a safe environment where my kids would be able to have fun and enjoy the street, but it's impossible.
'There's no sense of community.'

The affluent residents want to install security gates to ward off car thefts
Bergman said masked robbers had unsuccessfully tried to steal his Mercedes in his driveway earlier this year.
However, critics of the move panned the robberies that had supposedly plagued North Bay Road.
In some thefts, the A-listers had left the car keys inside the cars.
Other times, the opulent vehicles were still running when they were stolen.
The street's residents include the Beckhams, who purchased North Bay Road's most expensive mansion for about $72million.
Other homeowners include Joshua Kushner and Karlie Kloss, who bought a 15,000-square-foot mansion on the corridor for a reported $15m in 2020.
Adam Kravitz, who lives on neighboring Alton Road and is its homeowners association president, said: 'This is a huge waste of time and effort to placate the egos of a few wealthy residents.'

Cindy Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber also own a home on the corridor
He branded the A-listers 'rich morons' whose carjackings were self-inflicted.
Kravitz said: 'Are you saying that on Alton Road we don't have car thefts? Are you saying that on Alton Road we don't have break-ins?'
The affluent homeowners believe they should not have to constantly worry about crime because of where they live and how much they pay to be there.
Some have reportedly hired 24/7 armed security to watch their property.
There were eight or nine car thefts on North Bay Road in each of the past four years, as opposed to 14 in 2020, according to the Wall Street Journal.
That has resulted in the corridor's A-listers to create a group chat where they talk about 'suspicious' people in their ritzy part of Miami.
The group includes the likes of Crawford, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Homes on North Bay Road regularly go for eight-figure amounts
The plan would install security gates separating the community from Miami's public street grid
The full plan proposed by North Bay Road residents would prop up security gates separating the community from Miami's public street grid.
The gates would also curtail rising traffic in the area, which residents claim is due to mobile apps leading drivers down their road.
Bergman said: 'This has nothing to do with elitism. This is about protecting our community, our children and making it safe to be on the street.'
However, the road is not actually a private community despite the astounding levels of prestige accumulated by its residents.
The move is also complicated due to North Bay Road's particular design, as waterways split the corridor in three.
Other affluent communities in Miami, such as Gables Estates or La Gorce Island, are gated off but not trisected by water.
Until now, only the middle part has started the process to install the security gates, petitioning Miami Beach commissioners to create a special taxation district that would then potentially vote in support of the move.
A traffic and feasibility study would also need to take place.
If approved by Miami Beach authorities, the full installation would take two to three
