As a young professional and Cambridge resident, Nick has experienced the struggle of finding affordable living in Boston and looked to make a difference. In 2013 he joined the research collaborative WHAT’s IN? founded by Aeron Hodges in an effort to use research, design, and policy change to explore alternate housing and zoning options to make a difference in Boston’s housing market. The group has recently published a monograph WHAT’S IN?: A story of compact urban living 2012-2016 which details the research gathered and presented over the past 5 year.
