I’m not convinced the data is good. At least in my neighborhood the zoning requirements are address by address and I’d be easily convinced coming up with a coloring scheme that attributes everything correctly is a hard computer science problem.

I'm just saying, to look at this map, you'd think Beverly and Lincoln Park were comparably zoned.

It's not a computer science problem at all. It's literally just a matter of having a uniue color for each type of zone.

I looked it up this morning. The cities own map has accurate data for my area. They get around the color issue by overlaying the actual zoning code number over the zones.
