In today's economy you have new opportunities to lose in new ways which hadn't been available since the 1930s. My Dad's as programmed to fear inflation as you, but it's been a rough decade for inflation fans. In the 1930s people were able to lose even unleveraged real estate when rents couldn't pay the property tax. But even in stable cities like Los Angeles, where you didn't have taxes spiral due to excess foreclosures, people with very modest leverage lost income properties. Economic depressions, like the one we're experiencing are a different sort of animal. It seem comforting to some to assume a central bank can always reliably provide inflation, but it's less reliable than you think when debt to income levels bring on a depression.
