That's fair, and many people do both willingly but mostly unwillingly, for economic or other reasons. I did as well for a while, but have since moved to the "green zone" because I am so privileged to have that option--even in the green zone, not everything is sunshine and roses.
It would likely be illustrative, if someone were to overlay a zoning map on top of this walkscore map. You'd likely find that virtually all of the yellow and red zones are legally enforced, not driven by market forces nor preference.
