And that's probably the main reason they're moving. Corporate relocations are almost tied to where the CEO lives. Very odd and illogical but true.
Researchers have mapped out corporation relocations over the last 50 years or so, and you can almost always predict the movement by looking where the CEO lives. It isn't a coincidence that as wealth moved to suburbia in the postwar era, corporations soon followed, and usually very close to the most affluent suburban areas that tend to hold upper management.
