New York City Housing Shortage
For many decades, the New York metropolitan area has suffered from an increasing shortage of housing, as housing supply has not met housing demand. As a result, New York City has the highest rents of any city in the United States. The New York metropolitan area has long-standing exclusionary zoning practices, which were frequently rooted in racism. Restrictive zoning regulations, which prohibited multifamily residential use and affordable housing, were intended to prevent non-whites from moving to white neighborhoods. The housing shortage in New York is driven by a lack of housing supply. Home construction in New York City lags far behind other major American cities. From 2010 to 2023, housing supply in the city increased by 4% while jobs increased by 22%. In the suburbs of New York City, restrictive zoning regulations are a key contributor to the undersupply of housing, as zoning laws either prohibit or disincentivize any but single-family detached homes in Nassau, Suffolk, W ...

Statute Of Limitations
A statute of limitations, known in civil law systems as a prescriptive period, is a law passed by a legislative body to set the maximum time after an event within which legal proceedings may be initiated. ("Time for commencing proceedings") In most jurisdictions, such periods exist for both criminal law and civil law such as contract law and property law, though often under different names and with varying details. When the time which is specified in a statute of limitations runs out, a claim might no longer be filed or, if it is filed, it may be subject to dismissal if the defense against that claim is raised that the claim is time-barred as having been filed after the statutory limitations period. When a statute of limitations expires in a criminal case, the courts no longer have jurisdiction.
