Following the success of his series, he landed himself his own television show. The show entitled, young broke and beautiful was created and hosted by stuart. It looked at visits to new orleans, detroit. He is famous for his blog where they have written over 10,000 articles on local news, politics. You may have remembered stuart for his run for mayor in 2015. And among other things, he made some pretty incredible viral videos about the need for more public toilets, which helped to inspire some of the changes that have been made, including some of the work that ive been able to do on that issue. At a time when San Francisco has become more and more expensive, and harder and harder for young people, artists, journalists and creative folks to be here and thrive, stuart has been an essential voice for the culture that is still here and even a guru and moral compass for the many dreamers and creatives that are here. Im proud to be honoring him today. And also, its his birthday this week. So
