Also, for everybody who doesn't work on the literal Wall Street, "Wall Street" is easy shorthand for "the financial services industry". Most of New York's "Wall Street" (that hasn't jumped across the river to Jersey City or up to Connecticut) is in midtown now anyway... the only relevant things near literal Wall Street are NYSE (which is on Broad Street, anyway) and the offices of a few of the traders who hold seats there.
Perhaps we might want to talk about the tax advantaged status of owning great swaths of midwestern farmland now, and how it has become an asset sink for risk averse fincancial managers.... Wonder why Bill Gates owns as many acres there as he does, no?
