While cities aren't technically exempt from lawsuits, they make it so difficult to sue them that you need to be a lawyer in order to bring suit successfully.
While most actions have a reasonable prescription period, I personnally encountered a situation where I was unable to sue the city because the three-day prescription period had expired.

No person, or entity is immune to lawsuit, not even the U.S. government.

Some go bankrupt from outrageous lawsuits.
