In a sense, it's an unnatural place. There's no reason that it should exist. It's only there because of an anomaly, a barrier imposed for whimsical reasons on the landscape. San Diego and Tijuana are very much like Leviathans themselves: grown anarchically out of a primordial separation, like a misshapen pearl around an irritating piece of grit.
It doesn't really make sense to talk of two separate cities. There are 300 000 crossings every day through the two checkpoints; although you can live your life within one city, even one neighborhood, the rest of the people out there aren't so limited. They will take advantage of everything life has to offer, on all sides. You'd better catch up.
