For two cities on opposite coasts and as different as Boston and San Francisco, don't they share an almost spookly similiarity and relationship, as well?
In the US, it's almost like their relationship is unique:
small, compact, dense peninsular central city that is part of a large metropolitan area
similiar status among global cities
major vibrant downtown areas that tend to be smaller versions of what you find in New York and Chicago
out-of-sight real estate prices
unique personalities (not your run-of-the-mill cities)
incredible strength in the fields of education (Cal, Stanford, Harvard, MIT) and the technology that feeds off of it
Boston's relationship with NYC is quite similiar to SF's relationship to LA
traditonal, yet cutting edge>
