He told Stabroek News that if asked to pay market value for his land now, he could not afford such. “I am a poor man and if that is case and I can’t afford that. I might have to sell my home to pay,” he lamented.

Hmm poor man living among multi millionaires.
In relative terms, Gary Best is a poor man. He paid $1.5M for the P2 plot and sold his old house and took out a mortgage to build his P2 house and build up his yard. As GDF C-of-S he earned a fixed income. Many ordinary homes in the rural areas are worth more than Best's property.
