City right for some foreigners outside – and for their sort occupying it (7)
I believe the answer is:
detroit
'city' is the definition.
(Detroit is an example)
'right for some foreigners outside and for their sort occupying it' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'right' could be 'r' (common abbreviation) and 'r' is found within the answer.
'for' could be 'to' (eg both can mean 'in the opinion of') and 'to' is found in the leftover letters.
'it' could be 't' (abbreviation. e.g. in 'tis) and 't' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'dei' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for detroit that I've seen before include "US city associated with automobile production" , "U.S. city also known as Motown" , "city by a Great Lake" , "City in Michigan known for motor industry" , "American city" .)
