I think the idea here is second cities of a metropolitan area. But the problem is that Fort Worth is something like 30 miles from Dallas, while Oakland is only about 7 miles from San Francisco. San Francisco and Oakland function together in a way that I don't believe Dallas and Fort Worth do.
Actually Oakland and Saint Paul is a decent matchup, both as second cities near the first one, as working class cities next to a more middle class city, as industrial cities
Seattle and Portland, OR. Both similar climates, very liberal, surrounded by mountains, natural beauty, green, hipsters, similar landscape, etc. In the "wet part" of their respective states.

So the defining characteristic of all these cities is their proximity to other places?? Nope.
