From the article:
“Vienna’s city government owns and manages 220,000 housing units, which represent about 25 percent of the city’s housing stock.1 These city-owned housing units, called social housing, are meant primarily for lower-income residents. The city also indirectly controls 200,000 units that are built and owned by limited-profit private developers but developed through a city-regulated process.”
So according to this data the government controls about 50% of the housing in the city. Seems pretty good to me! As someone else said the article and data are a bit old, but it sounds like they’ve been keeping up with demand if they had 50% when this article was written. (They’ve been doing this for 100 years)
