Somewhere that they get subsidies rather than taxes.

But they have to stay in the bay/Seattle for the talent pool, by their own admission. I think the local government has a lot more power than they think. Which is wrong - the liberal livable areas attract talent, so companies flock to them, or the bottom line is more important so they should do it in a cheaper city? Seems like the former is winning by a mile in the past decade.
Mega cap tech companies need subsidies?
It's not a matter of need, it's a matter of them being able to get them.
