And it is an adage of the real estate business that a company moves to where its top executives live.

For fear of attack, many executives live and work behind fortress walls.

Not all highly paid executives live near Central Park, after all.

Two other senior executives have also lived through big deals.

But I wonder if a lot of these companies wouldn't do just as well if their executives lived a little more like real folks.

Or is it simply because a company's chief executive lives in Westchester?
