Although I don't understand all the parameters, my understanding is that, particularly in places like Sandy Ground, the TITLE to the land is in some dispute. Or at least, even though someone has lived on the land for generations, they can't prove a title through paperwork. That's one part of the situation. And then another part of the situation is the PPRN, which currently prohibits rebuilding within certain zones. So THEORETICALLY it's not confiscation by the government, but they can't build there, so it amounts to the same thing.

Regarding the property near the Yacht Club, you're probably talking about Lee's. Lee NEVER owned the land there.
