"...the goal of the city or the non profits (Genossenschaften) is to provide housing, not selling flat."
I can only speak for NYC and the efforts here. We have a dog's breakfast of different efforts--housing lotteries, Section 8, and programs for down-payment assistance to buy a home for first time home buyers. I made use of the last program, having had no success in the first for the past 13 years (I've received probably 3-4 letters from different lottery programs saying I was moving up in the program, but they always fizzled out).
"There's a goal that 1/3 of all housing in the city has to be non-profit by 2050, this was voted back in 2011"
This sounds like a remarkable program. I wonder about these non-profits. Who runs them, how are they governed, what is their measure of success (since it's not monetary), and how do they measure it.
