I applaud Seattle for starting a social housing program, but the number of applications (10,000!) shows no city in the U.S. can reasonably create enough deeply affordable homes via subsidies.

More than 10,000 people applied for Seattle's social housing lottery after the social housing developer bought its first building. www.seattletimes.com/business/rea...
Seattle’s first social housing building has just 150 apartments. The number of applicants to move in is a sign of the city’s need for affordable housing.
