37 Affordable Homes Lie Empty at Parkway, they may offload the 'good ones' first! Options

Reading the NWN, it seems our illustrious council agreed for the affordable home quota (which was paid for by the tax-payer to the tune of around £900,000.00) to remain empty until 'most' of the 'lucrative' homes there were sold first! According to the NWN, 19 can be released once 74 'private' homes are sold, but then 120 homes have to be occupied before the remain 18 can be made available.

Incredible.

Quite the opposite, I find it more than credible. It's clear they're having difficulty selling these properties but I imagine that would be made considerably more challenging if the 'affordable' homes were populated with poorly-behaved tenants.

What are the arguments against a new housing estate built solely to meet the needs of those seeking affordable housing?
