I'm an R6B. What Are You?

For NoLandGrab junkies who have been trying to penetrate the jargon used to shape their neighborhoods, The Real Estate Observer just found themselves "thumbing through, then reading almost cover-to-cover, the City Planning Commission's Zoning Handbook, released this week."

Pages and pages in the front of the book take obscure zoning classifications with names that sound like droid lot-numbers and describe in plain language the character and objectives of each zoning class, complete with diagrams and pictures showing existing streets that exemplify the zone type.
