Apparently it can rent to anyone so long as they're paying fair market.

So "discrimination" is illegal at $1.00/year, but perfectly legal at $200,000/year. Do you still think "discrimination" is the issue in this case?

Perhaps "discrimination" is the City's excuse in this case.

Yes. By charging a buck a year the city is seen as supporting an organization that legally discriminates. By charging fair market value for the rent they they're treating the Boy Scouts the same as anyone else, no better and no worse. That seems to be the legal issue here.
