Only because he wasn't an idiot. Wall Street is actually physically located in NYC, and it is the main industry here, its not some ethereal notional construct like it is for the rest of the country. Imagine if the mayor of San Fransisco was suddenly against people who lived in Portero Hill for example, it makes no sense. If another financial crisis happens, even DeBlasio would be pro-Wall street.
