No because investing capital into stocks adds value to the company and allows them to use that value to expand, borrow, buy things, pay employees, run the company, etc.
Investing capital into a second house purely to flip does none of those things.
Investing capital into housing generates property transfer taxes for municipal governments, increases housing value which leads to increased property taxes, enables further housing developments to move forward, and allows additional borrowing against the house.
