Again, Wall Street is NYC's bedrock economy. It has nothing to do with politics; it's the lifeblood of the economy. It would be like a Detroit mayor fighting against the auto industry, a Silicon Valley mayor demonizing tech, or an LA mayor telling Hollywood to get lost.

Wall Street (and skyscrapers) is where most of the pride associated with NYC is from.
