I heard a rumor some of the protesters will shortly be "bringing it home", so to speak. Is there any truth to this?

I believe most of the Wall st. Execs live in Brooklyn Heights. Especially around Montague, Hicks and Henry St.

A lot of Wall Street workers live in Brooklyn Heights.

The area has seen a revitalization over the last 25 years and there are some nice buildings and streets.

But, don't kid yourself. The top multimillionaires still live in the fancy areas of Manhattan and the upscale suburbs of NYC.

Brooklyn Heights may look nice if you are poor or middle class. The 1% that people talk about are not the primary demographic. You might have to make a good salary to live there, but they are not the people on the top.

Most Wall Street executives do not live there. Maybe middle management types. Not top level bosses.

How about 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? Or is that not politically advantageous for the Hope and Change crowd?
