If it was another private organization, say the ACLU, or NAMBLA, that was getting free rent from the government, are you honestly saying that you'd be fine with it? Wouldn't you say that they're getting something valuable from the government, and that that a cash value could be applied to it? Or are you only okay with goverment handouts to private organizations that you agree with?

You are aware, are you not, that the Boy Scouts themselves built the building in 1928, then gifted it to the city, in return for a perpetual lease back to them to use it for $1 per year?

Yes, I am aware of that. Are you aware that the lot was city land, and that the lease included a clause that allowed for the termination of the deal with one year's notice?
