Someone should have told them that Nashville and Charlotte were available.

Google is gearing up for an expansion of its New York City real estate that could add space for more than 12,000 new workers, an amount nearly double the search giant’s current staffing in the city, according to people familiar with the matter. The plan, which hasn’t been previously disclosed, would give Google room for nearly 20,000 staff in the city, including those it has now—rivaling the approximately 25,000 jobs Amazon.com Inc. is projected to add if it completes plans for a major new office in New York. The Alphabet Inc. unit is nearing a deal to buy or lease a planned 1.3 million-square-foot office building at St. John’s Terminal in the city’s West Village neighborhood, said people familiar with the discussions. The building, planned to be completed by 2022, would give Google space for more than 8,500 staff, based on the industry standard of 150 square feet per employee.

Google is a web based software development company, amazon is a retailer; they aren't rivals...

Don't be obtuse...
They are most certainly rivals in regards to talent, space, recognition, and size of company dick.

AWS is definitely a direct competitor with Google Cloud services.

AWS is where Amazon makes their megabucks, not selling crap for 5% less than brick and mortar.
Amazon could stop selling things the the public tomorrow and their profits would increase.

They bought Chelsea Market for a few billion earlier this year.

They do way more than retail. For example, they offer cloud based web hosting services, online storage, and media production. Google also has a retail component and has media through YouTube.
While they each have several main areas of business that are different, there is quite a bit of overlap in ways they compete.

I'm sure they aren't getting tax exemptions since NY is so progressive.

That's not why they're doing this. NYC is the East Coast Silicon Valley.

New York could become the next battleground in a budding rivalry between Amazon and Google, which are increasingly vying to be the first place consumers turn for searches related to product purchases. The potential flood of new tech jobs to New York is a boon to the efforts of local officials to turn the city into a hub of the booming tech economy. Former Mayor Michael Bloomberg championed the development of a local tech industry, including the $2 billion Cornell Tech campus on Roosevelt Island, which opened last year.

All these statements are false. Both Google and Amazon do a bunch of things, some of which overlap.
AI, voice recognition, cloud services, etc.
