Summarize the failure of Lyndon B. Johnson’s Great Society Legislation. ;-;

An example of Johnson's failure in urban renewal was his Model Cities Program. This program, which began in 1966, was part of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The program's goal was to encourage greater coordination between the various Great Society urban programs and to provide more funding for urban renewal. The program emphasized local leadership, but some cities quickly used the program to assert more control over their neighborhoods. For example, the mayor of Chicago froze out neighborhood participation in favor of politically-connected advisory councils that would carry out the mayor's wishes.  

The Model Cities Program, while a minor failure in the overall scope of Johnson's presidency, paled in comparison to Johnson's most catastrophic failure. The Vietnam War was harming his domestic policies. The Democratic Party, while not losing their majorities in the Senate and House, took heavy losses due to Vietnam's unpopularity.
