How we rate this
The vibe label comes only from sourced laws and active Heads up alerts, never from check-ins or opinions.
- Each of the 8 laws scores 2 (yes), 1 (partly) or 0 (no), out of 16. A law we could not verify yet scores 0.
- 13–16: Out & loud · 9–12: Mostly relaxed · 5–8: Low-key for now · 0–4: Proceed with care.
- If Pride is banned or broken up, the label can be no higher than Low-key for now.
- An active Heads up drops the label one step (caution) or two steps (serious). Alerts come from real reporting and expire.
- On the street shows how people who were here felt. It never changes the label, and only appears after 20 check-ins in 30 days.
Here: 9/16 on paper (Mostly relaxed).
Coming up
