It solved that √

If anyone had the expectation that lottery would solve the housing shortage, they will going to be disappointed. It mitigated the housing shortage by adding more plots.
it didn't even do that.

It added more plots overall, but for private buyers we went from [60 * 24 * 4 = 5760] available to private buyers to [60 * 6 * 5 = 1800] the total number of private plots went down. Not to mention, now more people are going to be participating in the lottery because now there is no required time sink for getting a house. So if anything they have done the exact opposite of mitigating this issue, they have made private housing impossible.
