Stallone's reported intention for an underwater barrier is, on the surface, framed as an environmental measure. However, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has classified it explicitly as a device to keep boaters away from his lavish Palm Beach property. This has incited notable backlash from neighbors who object to his attempt to privatize access to public waterways, sparking discussions about private ownership over common water bodies.
Bradford Gary, a neighbor, voiced his frustration, stating, "He bought a beautiful property, one of the nicest West Indies houses. I can see why you'd want to protect it. But you can't just kind of stake your claim and think you own the water." This sentiment resonates with many locals who feel that Stallone's plans could set a concerning precedent for private ownership of public spaces.
