1. lots of water, both cities are literally constrained by the bodies of water that surround them
Er, what? There's a body of water surrounding Paris? Are you sure you're not thinking of the Mont-Saint-Michel?
2. cultural centers of their respective areas
In Paris' case it's the cultural center of rather more than just its "area", but okay...
5. lots of homeless people begging for spare change, the only difference is that in paris the bums speak 5 different languages.
Uh, yeah, doesn't sound very representative to me. The French aren't exactly known for being polyglots, and that's putting it mildly.
I have to say, if I had to compare Paris to one American city, it'd be New York, not San Francisco.
paris is a lot like san francisco with 2000+ years of history behind it....

Most of what you wrote about could apply to NYC.

Apparently it has less people and activity and is thus less imposing, too.
