They are very different propositions.
San Jose: your average American city, in terms of looks, but considerably more upscale.
San Francisco: an NYC-style "world-class city." It's trying for that title in terms of tempo, density, architecture.
Doesn't always succeed of course, but the cities are fundamentally going after different goals.
