Welcome to Shiny Places

My goal with this blog is to help me truly understand the following topics that are of signficant interest to me:

Land & Property
Housing (fundamental needs for shelter, etc.)
Real Estate (fundamentally as a business and economic concept)
Construction
Environment & Ecology

I have secondary interests in the following

Ethics
Aesthetics
Architecture & Design
"Hospitality"

For context, I am a product designer living in Boston. Before becoming a product designer, I worked in commercial real estate development with a focus on hotels.

I have a dog, live for fresh air, and like to draw.
