If Menino really wanted a new city hall for boston, he should have made an attempt to see if a new city hall would have been feasible at the present location rather than insisting on a waterfront view.
The current location has enough space to bould a new one and then some. Menino, if he talked to developers, could develop the current city hall into multiple towers with a new Boston City Hall being part of the overall builing project.
There is enough space there to build multiple towers that could be leased out to businesses while still having City Hall there.
This would also go in line with an idea I had submitted to the MBTA about redeveloping existing subway stations so that they are not stand alone stations but rather part of an overall development project where there is a building or buildings over the station. the redevelopment of Boston's City Hall Plaza would encompass the existing subway station on site.
