Why is Nick allowed in Diamond City?

Nick Valentine is allowed in Diamond City because he saved the former Mayor's daughter from kidnappers, earning him a place in the city despite initial distrust, and he gradually built trust by helping residents as a handyman and then a detective, proving himself "one of the good ones" rather than a threatening Gen 3 synth. His older, clearly mechanical appearance also prevents the same paranoia that surrounds indistinguishable human-like synths, and he was a tolerated, useful asset before the major synth scares escalated.
