Your opinion is total bs and not based in any credible monetary theory. Start with the basics, you need school

Aren't high interest rates ALSO inflationary?
I am about to buy a rental home. I HAVE to charge more than I would normally want to because the payment is so high due to interest rates. Granted, I can only charge what the market will bear. But I would prefer to list lower to get a quick lease. These rates don't let me do that. Does the fed not realize that?!
In case someone asks why I bought a rental home that is not cash flowing. Because it's actually only going to be a rental temporarily. We will move in once life lets us relocate.
