Doesn’t this read like “just invest in anything”?

OPs q is “what” to invest in given that one can’t hold cash when inflation is rampant.

I’m just continuing to buy us equities with a tilt towards the nasdaq 100. But I have no idea how that will work out in the next 10years.

The other option is to just make as big downpayment as I can (200-400k) in the Bay Area but not really sold on living here long term.

Not really. Even if you did everything in that list, its a tiny slice of the universe of invest-able assets. This is a quite specific, prescriptive list of things to hold as alternatives to cash in the current period of high inflation. Now, the opportunity may have been traded away in the time since this was published. Commodities, for example, have seen significant price appreciation.
