I don't remember exactly where I saw this, I'm sorry. There is also a documentary/film about Alterlaa that is very interesting.
What I remember reading is that there is a long waiting list for social housing and specially for Alterlaa due to its amenities, and boomers lock young people out of it. Some people claim that not only apartments were designed for families with children, families get a priority, so singles are excluded.
Also once you are in you can live there indefinitely no matter your income, you are still getting the subsidy. Some claim that the income threshold to be eligible for social housing is very high, thus it's basically subsiding housing for rich people with public money.
Since historically the social Democratic party controlled social housing, there were allegations that people politically connected to it got priority to the social housing, trade union members, etc.
I'm sorry for not being able to pinpoint exactly where I read this, I used to be very obsessed about social housing policies on the world and comparing them to Israel - where social housing is barebones-, and this criticism is often offered as a counterpoint to Vienna as a social housing power.
