Southwest Detroit has been through hell (excuse my directness) with Matty Moroun, his Bridge Company, and all his fancy-named subsidiaries. From blighted homes that my boys have to walk by to allowing his trucks to rumble down our residential streets, passing our parks, schools, and homes - we have had it.

Rashida Tlaib

We need radical, transformative solutions to address the inequality that is blighting millions of people's lives.

Angela Rayner

Gordon Ramsay grew up in a tourist town, Stratford-Upon-Avon, but in a part tourists don't visit - a council estate: a concrete bunker subsidized by the local government, synonymous with deprivation and blight.

Bill Buford

I despise the phony, fancy-pants rhetoric of professors aping jargon-filled European locutions - which have blighted academic film criticism for over 30 years.

Camille Paglia

We beg you to save young America from the blight of race prejudice. Do not bind the children within the narrow circles of your own lives.

Charles Hamilton Houston

The fashion industry is an immense cultural and social blight that only gets a free pass because its would-be detractors are scared it'll start criticising their haircut.

Charlie Brooker

Our metropolises are blighted by two problems: a lack of public transport and a lack of public loos.

Charlie Brooker

We have to take real steps to break down the culture of benefit dependency and failure which blights too many urban areas.

Chris Grayling

Family breakdown is blighting the lives of far too many children.

Chris Grayling

We need to protect our wilderness areas and national parks. Everywhere you travel, you see blight, denuded mountains, logging. If people know what's going on, they'll become activists to safeguard those places.

Christie Brinkley

There is no reason why a nation as rich as ours should be blighted by poverty, disease, and illiteracy.

Coretta Scott King

I'd probably put myself in the top 1% in knowledge of blight in the city of Detroit.

Dan Gilbert

Blight is like a cancer. This is one of those all-or-nothing things.

Dan Gilbert

I think mobile homes are a blight on the planet. Attractive, affordable housing is possible, and I'm out to prove it.

Dan Phillips

I love better to count time from spring to spring; it seems to me far more cheerful to reckon the year by blossoms than by blight.

Donald G. Mitchell

The Soul of man is made an article of merchandize by his fellow man and can such a land be happy? No! Happyness does not dwell in any land that is scard by the blighting curse of Slavery.

Ezra Cornell

Men... are bettered and improved by trial, and refined out of broken hopes and blighted expectations.

Frederick William Robertson

There is a sort of jealousy which needs very little fire; it is hardly a passion, but a blight bred in the cloudy, damp despondency of uneasy egoism.

George Eliot

A child rightly trained may be a world-wide blessing, with an influence reaching onward to eternal years. But a neglected or misdirected directed child may live to blight and blast mankind, and leave influences of evil which shall roll on in increasing volume till they plunge into the gulf of eternal perdition.

George Muller

Enterprise zones have succeeded in attracting needed capital to our urban poverty centers. Businesses and investors that wouldn't otherwise give these blighted areas a second glance react to the incentives and invest.

Jared Polis

Lord, confound this surly sister, blight her brow with blotch and blister, cramp her larynx, lung and liver, in her guts a galling give her.

John Millington Synge
