There was a story of a couple in Boulder, Colorado who lost their property to a neighbor because the neighbor had used it for many years and grew emotionally attached to the property. Why can’t the Boy Scouts’ attorneys take the same approach?

If that worked, every longtime renter in America could take their landlord's property. The fact that the Scouts payed the dollar a year meant that they accepted that the city was the property's owner.

It did work - click on the link in Yorkie’s post #80.

The fact that the Scouts payed the dollar a year meant that they accepted that the city was the property's owner.

Okay, then if the property is owned by the city, it's owned by the people. Put it up for a public vote - $1 or $199,000 to rent to the BSA. I think the BSA will win that vote.

Here's a quick Gedanken mind experiment to clear the picture: you own a mobile home. You pay a land-owner $1 per year to lease his land so that you have a place to put your mobile home.

He terminates your lease after 80 years.

Is that his mobile home now, or yours?
