What about San Jose? Sure, San Jose may not be the tourist magnet that SF is but it has its own self-contained economy as the centre of Silicon Valley and it even stole SF's NFL team. San Jose even has its own suburbs in Palo Alto, Cupertino, etc.
In fact, San Francisco is a very good comparison for Vancouver considering both cities are similarly space-constrained and that San Jose now has a larger population than Surrey.
