Alex Rodriguez' Miami Beach mansion

A-Rod has managed once again to find himself a lightning rod for criticism. It seems the New York Yankee star has a nine-bedroom Miami Beach mansion which Rodriguez occasionally rents to film and TV firms for their shoots. Well,
according to a story in today's Miami Herald, Rodriguez' next-door neighbor thinks there are far too many commercials, segments, and reality shows occurring in his one-percenter residential area. The neighbor, a retired New Jersey plastics manufacturer who happens to like Rodriguez personally, has unsurprisingly made his opinion known via his attorney.
As the
Herald article notes, Miami Beach is home to a thriving media industry, thanks to its combination of iconic setting, readily available sunshine, and even more available celebrities. Glamorous homes are made available for the media's insatiable thirst for image. Reality television has only accelerated this trend.
Ironically, A-Rod has put his digs, which are less than two years old, on the market for $36 million. Maybe he just doesn't like the neighborhood anymore.
