Netherlands has a shortage due to lack of keeping up but that is also a problem for the social housing co-ops (which got hurt a lot by the global stock market crash due to the property crash as they had also invested in stocks...)
Granted I haven’t lived there for over 20 years but this doesn’t sound true from my personal experiences whenever I’ve visited. It’s not the upkeep that’s lacking as much as the shortage of new builds. It’s still a far better situation than most countries in the EU.

Is that the only reason?

Dublin has a shortage due to lack of investment/keeping up AND people objecting to flats being built nearby
Some cities have zoning problems as well, where councils refuse to rezone old shops/industrial areas
There are no government built houses in Berlin at all?
