Since they claim to be perennially short of funds, and since many of the most popular parks are overflowing during the summer, not sure just what kind of urban parks they'll be establishing. Out of over 400 units in the Park Service national parks, monuments, seashores and rivers account for about 175, the rest being mostly historical Sites, monuments, battlefields, most of which are in or near urban areas. Not neglected, though there are no national squirrel, raccoon and coyote preserves in urban areas so I suppose there's potential. I suspect this is really meant to address the low attendance by minorities at parks. Unfortunate, but it is there choice. Could make a park out of Detroit, America's Past Industrial Might National Historical Site. Perhaps Urban Crime National Historical Site in Chicago. Or should that be a Battlefield

They can visit Stonewall or whatever it’s called.

It is to funnel taxpayer dollars into bankrupt socialist “utopias”; “workfare”. However, they won’t generate revenues; the locals won’t go (or would show up when it is “free”), and tourists know these places are dangerous.
