65.8 percent of americans own a home according to an internet search. (An asset). If you want to discuss wealth inequality, I don't think a term like "asset inflation" is necessarily the right way to go about it. Can't we just use terms like home affordability?

I just think reinventing the term inflation encourages sloppy fringe conspiracy thinking.

It's my understanding if the government didn't intervene in markets we'd get events like the great depression returning periodically, which probably are in nobody's interest.

We should really be discussing the right government policies or the wrong one, but I doubt the answer to the problems of our time is zero policy.
