We've just started to rein in inflation. I don't think anyone (Fed, politicians, or the public) has the stomach for more QE.

This is a very bold prediction.

Given how aggressively we expanded the money supply just a few years ago, mass bank failures seem quite unlikely as asset price increases generated quite a bit of equity leaving plenty of buffer room for loan defaults.

Still plenty of liquidity out there. Commercial real estate is not a systemic threat.
