It had the flavor of a startup.
It really disrupted the status quo of politics in New York.
And I think that resonated with a lot of people who work in tech.
Well, I think that's a really great question.
And in fact, the organization I run, TechNYC, put out research with Zillow just maybe a year ago that showed that even people who have high-paying jobs in tech are having a hard time affording housing in New York City.
So when we talk about affordable housing, it runs across the entire spectrum.
For so many people, it's unaffordable.
And so I think that more housing is better.
Better for tech in New York.
We've seen the same dynamic in San Francisco, of course, the need to build more housing so more people from across the economic spectrum can live here, build their careers here, grow their family here.
I'm really incredibly in favor of the pro-housing initiatives that won yesterday.
Absolutely.
I think there's a lot of opportunity.
I think the thing I'm most hopeful about is modernizing government, government efficiency.
So our Mamdani is...
is a very progressive candidate, now mayor-elect, and progress means government that works better.
So we need to unleash technology in New York City government to work better for New Yorkers, but we also will need to be really careful when we work with his team, or sometimes when we disagree with his team, to ensure that the tech economy continues to thrive here, that businesses continue to grow here,
This is the future of the economy in the world.
Technology is, of course, and needs to also be the future of the economy in New York City.
So we have to work together.
