Leader of team has trendy place for people to live (8)
I believe the answer is:
township
'for people to live' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'leader of team has trendy' is the wordplay.
'leader of' indicates taking the first letters.
'has' becomes 'owns' ('own' can be a synonym of 'have').
'trendy' becomes 'hip' (I've seen this before).
The initial letter of 'team' is 't'.
't'+'owns'+'hip'='TOWNSHIP'
'place' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for township that I've seen before include "Old manor" , "Settlement" , "Urban area for non-whites in South Africa under apartheid" , "In South Africa during apartheid, an urban area assigned to black nationals" , "Poor suburb (South Africa) - county division (US) - part of parish (England)" .)
