[QUOTE="Malika, post: 475586, member: 11227"] Enough, enough already :) Thank you all very much for your help - I have gone with "public housing", partly because it also sounds right and natural in English. Translators have to make quick judgements and in a total word count of 200,000 words (edited down from a whopping 600,000), this one word is not of supreme importance. Oh, just as an additional note to explain - I don't want to go with a concept such as government subsidized because the politician concerned rented one of these public housing apartments when he was a young man just entering politics: it could imply that as he worked for the government, he got some kind of discounted housing...
