Scores derived from: live event density (5 venues active tonight), street art activity (Adnate/Oxfam mural), planning news (Fitzroy height limits set conservatively in overhaul), market activity (two markets running), and community engagement signals. Culture boosted by Gertrude Contemporary opening + Tote double-header. Gentrification pressure moderated slightly by height limit protections but 235 Napier St application flags ongoing residential intensification pressure.
