<p>Early this year, Amazon <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/02/16/amazon-hq2-new-york-waste-of-time/">pulled the plug on plans to build an &#8220;HQ2&#8221; in Queens</a> after a number of local leaders and activists pushed back against the $3 billion in tax breaks and incentives it would receive. Now the online retail giant has confirmed plans to lease 335,000 square feet of office space in Manhattan, according to the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/amazon-leases-new-manhattan-office-space-less-than-a-year-after-hq2-pullout-11575671243" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>Wall Street Journal</em></a>. The new NYC expansion will be located in the Hudson Yards neighborhood with more than 1,500 employees.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a much smaller footprint than what Amazon had proposed for <a href="https://www.engadget.com/tag/HQ2/">HQ2</a> &#8212; which shifted to other locations in Virginia and Tennessee &#8212; but it comes with no tax breaks or incentives, and no nationwide contest to lure the company&#8217;s business. US representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez <a href="https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1203083485252112384" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">tweeted</a> in response to the news &#8220;Won&#8217;t you look at that: Amazon is coming to NYC anyway &#8211; *without* requiring the public to finance shady deals, helipad handouts for Jeff Bezos, &amp; corporate giveaways.&#8221;</p>

<p>Municipalities would still have to give e-scooter and e-bike companies the go-ahead, and would decide how to regulate them. For instance, under the state-wide bill, riders won&#8217;t need to wear helmets, though cities could require that.</p>
<p>If the bill progresses as expected, e-scooters and e-bikes are likely to come to New York City, a massive potential market for the companies. However, don&#8217;t expect to see them in Manhattan soon. The New York City borough won&#8217;t have a permitted e-scooter program if the bill passes, meaning you shouldn&#8217;t see many <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/06/12/bird-acquires-scoot/">Bird</a>, <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/03/04/google-maps-lime-scooters-80-locations/">Lime</a> or <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/06/12/uber-upgrades-its-jump-scooters-and-bikes/">Jump</a> scooters on the sidewalks there in the near future. The bill also explicitly <a href="http://nyc.streetsblog.org/2019/06/17/apple-cored-e-bikee-scooter-bill-move-closer-to-reality-thanks-to-greenway-manhattan-exemptions/">prohibits the use</a> of e-bikes and e-scooters on the Hudson River Greenway.</p>
<p>It may take a little time for local authorities to determine their rules and permitting processes for e-scooters and bikes, so it&#8217;ll likely be a while yet before you can legally hop on one in Brooklyn. Bird, for instance, told <em>The Verge</em> <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/6/17/18682056/ny-electric-bike-scooter-bill-legalize">it doesn&#8217;t expect</a> to bring its scooters to New York until next spring.</p>
