Did the article state that the $1.00 a year rent was in perpetuity?

The original article was misleading.

But the link to the other article in my post #119 says the lease was "in perpetuity".

No...it said that the City Council had passed a resolution in 1928 to allow the use in perpetuity, but that doesn't mean there's necessarily any perpetual lease agreement.

In 1928 City Council adopted a resolution allowing the Boy Scouts to use land at 22nd and Winter streets “in perpetuity,” as long as any building on the premises housed Boy Scouts-related programming. But City Council members voted May 31 to authorize termination of the lease on grounds that the city will not “subsidize” any organization that discriminates against gays.
The BSA can still use the land...as long as they pay the rent of $200,000.
