The effect of QE on inflation can be seen on Bay Area housing prices. Isn't it roughly a 20% increase YoY? That's the inflation rate.

The inflation component would be the portion on your rent and even by that measure other items have decompensated more so than the rises in rent. Don't forget Oil was hovering around $150 just under a decade ago, and now its less than a 1/3rd of that.
