The city of Helsinki owns about 17% of the residential building stock, not the majority. (https://www.asuminenhelsingissa.fi/fi/content/kaupungin-omis... - in Finnish)

I apologize. I think I was remembering this passage incorrectly.
"And there, the Finnish capital is fortunate. Helsinki owns 60,000 social housing units; one in seven residents live in city-owned housing. It also owns 70% of the land within the city limits, runs its own construction company, and has a current target of building 7,000 more new homes – of all categories – a year"

70% of land is not 70% of housing.
