I think it would be more accurate to say it's the implication of artificial barriers to supply, such as restrictive zoning.

The government won't build you a home, at least not the kind you'd want to live in.

The government needs to get out of the way of people trying to build homes, and it needs to protect the people that are currently housed.

Eviction enforcement is orthogonal to these concerns.
