You are missing a point. every 1 regular job creates 3 non-regular jobs in the market. New businesses like restaurants, coffee shops etc will created which will boost local economy.
Even still, that's only 100k jobs. There's already more than 4 million jobs in the city alone. A 2.5% increase in jobs is just not going to change that much. Cyclical employment changes alone are much, much larger than that.
Have you been to LIC recently? It’s not like it’s bereft of coffee shops right now.
