Your definition of generating value is narrowly linked to interest-bearing or dividend issuing investments.

Even with that fictionally higher standard and procedurally generated definition of "investment", renting out a part of the house is generating value.

If we go with the fictional notion that all homeowners become landlords, then we can start calling a home an "investment", and I will retract everything I've said.
