What was one criticism of Menino's tenure as mayor?

  • Gentrification

  • Corruption

  • Increasing taxes

  • Closing public schools

Answer

One criticism of Menino's tenure as mayor was his support of gentrification. Gentrification is the process of renovating and rebuilding deteriorated urban neighborhoods by converting low-income housing into middle-class or high-end housing. This can lead to displacement of low-income residents and businesses, as well as increased rents and property values. Critics argue that Menino's support of gentrification contributed to the displacement of many low-income residents and businesses from Boston.
