    “Philanthropist’s Largess Empowers Local Communities”

    The word largess has appeared in 80 articles on NYTimes.com in the past year, including on Oct. 6 in “New York’s Right to Shelter Is Under Attack. Again” by Ginia Bellafante:

    In light of the migrant crisis, which has put roughly 117,000 mostly jobless, struggling and traumatized people under the city’s stewardship, the Adams administration was formally expressing the grievance it has aired for months — that the city, having already opened 210 emergency sites and spent more than $2 billion, had reached the limit of its largess.

    Officials were asking for a temporary suspension of the mandate, during designated emergencies, specifically in regard to single adults — not families with children, which might seem inconceivably heartless — on the grounds that resources have been exhausted. Exhaustion itself, though, is not a sufficient basis for a legal argument, so the complaint, now in the hands of the New York Supreme Court, rests largely on the assertion that the right-to-shelter decree constrains the city’s “flexibility” to handle the crisis.
