Yes, Boston is very photogenic! Great pics and info.
I am amazed at how much Mission Bay has transformed that entire part of town. I go to UCSF sometimes to take my parents and it's like every time I go there, something new has sprung up.
I definitely don't agree with SF having superior transit options. It has more options in theory, but everyone of those options except BART is extremely slow. 30 Minutes from downtown to the Marina District is insane. Boston is the hub of actual rapid transit.
Agreed. Both cities have good transit, but Boston's transit is somewhat better, with real urban heavy rail, and a better suburban rail network.
Greater Downtown Boston is more architecturally and geographically diverse. It’s just more interesting overall than greater downtown SF. Like from a passive, walking around standpoint at least...

I voted Boston
That city hall and its plaza and what it replaced though—oof
Love both of these cities, but in terms of "downtowns" I'd have to go with Boston. Traditional NE downtown with a nice cleanliness/neatness to it. Love Boston's harbors/waterfronts (the Charles River) as well.
As a region, I probably like the Bay Area a little more, but strictly comparing downtown, I give it to Boston. Really love downtown Boston.
Boston downtown seems to lack the pedestrian vibrancy of DT SF
