Public Comments

1. There are investment banks across the country. The fact that the largest ones are located near the stock exchange is historical. The stock exchange started there and the banks followed. But as business has expanded and transportation and communication and technology have expanded they became more spread out.

2. It is a business culture. Nothing is complicated. The same like why many airports have airlines offices near by? Good for business in time consuming. It is not wise to locate a business out of its business area because nature of business.
