Twenty-two New Jersey towns are suing to overturn a recent state law requiring them to build affordable housing, arguing that it imposes unrealistic targets without considering local development limitations. The towns claim the law unfairly exempts over 60 urban municipalities from similar requirements, despite some already contributing affordable units. They’ve requested the courts to pause the law’s mandates during the lawsuit, potentially impacting New Jersey’s affordable housing goals, which include building over 84,000 suburban units by 2035
