As somebody who grew up in Daly City, I have to wholeheartedly disagree.
Daly City is primarily working class, or immigrant professional. Many people don't speak English. In fact, I frequently lobbied my parents as a kid to move to SF, as our neighborhood in Daly City didn't feel like a match for our upper-middle class WASP family. /soapbox
I'm not sure that there is an analogy for Staten Island in SF. Maybe TI, but TI is largely poor, so I don't think it quite counts.
Pacifica is kind of like a Staten Island, but it is not part of the city of SF at all, so I don't think it really counts either.
Edit: I do realize that Daly City has two halves to it. Maybe the "little boxes" half, closer to the Ocean, is kind of like a Staten Island, although I think that it still is largely immigrant, just upper class immigrant.
