Also if you think that the President can wave his hand and get an urban agenda thru Congress don't really understand what a President can and cannot do especially given this political climate. Any kind of urban agenda that makes sense would need to be in the order of a Marshall Plan and that has a snowballs chance in July of happening.
The "Marshall Plan" for the cities was tried back in the Great Society and did two things, it supported an army of bureaucrats and it got a lot of central cities torn down [[urban renewal).
