"When you live next to vacant houses, when you see your friends' parents struggling with addiction, you have to make a choice early in life - you're either going to accept that's how life has to be for you and people like you, or you're going to do something to change it."
- Mayor Brandon M. Scott, Baltimore's youngest mayor at age 36.
