Speaking from my own experience, the NYC startup community is large and very active. I'm hoping this growth continues after we get a new mayor in.

I'm not sure what you're saying. Are you worried De Blasio will negatively impact the startup sector?
I'm saying that Mayor Bloomberg has been highly proactive in pushing the tech and startup sector forward. It would be hard to deny that he's partially responsible for fostering the growth that's occurred in NYC. I don't know that the next mayor will be quite as bullish on tech as Bloomberg was. Also, I'm suggesting there may be a reduction in growth, not a decline. I wouldn't necessarily call a reduction in growth a 'negative impact' - just less of a positive impact.
