Commuting still would be a problem because you have to land the helicopter somewhere. There are only 3 heliports in Manhattan.

  A lot of skyscrapers have private helipads, is my point. For a sufficiently-expensive executive officer, it actually makes sense to pay for a 15-minute skyscraper-to-skyscraper flight vs losing 45 minutes in a taxi.

    Skyscrapers don't have private heliports in New York. That was my point. Even the "Goldman Sachs" heliport is in New Jersey.

      Oh, then I was wrong. I hate that. :|

        If you're looking for a city with rooftop helipads, that would be Los Angeles. Although they aren't really for executives. http://clui.org/newsletter/spring-2010/elevated-descent-landingscape-helipads http://clui.org/newsletter/spring-2010/elevated-descent-land...
