Metro areas in more than one state

Do metro areas in more than one state operate differently than those in just one state? Do the state boundaries make a difference in how the parts interelate? on perceptions.

Is there a fundamental difference between places like

Miami, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Denver, Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Indianapolis, Phoenix, Cleveland, etc.

-and-

New York (NY, NJ, CT), Philadelphia (PA, NJ, DE), Chicago (IL, IN, WI), Boston (MA, NH), St. Louis (MO, IL), Kansas City (MO, KS), Cincinnati (OH, KY, IN), Washington (DC, MD, VA), etc.

...or do they tend to function the same way??????

(special note: obviously San Diego's relationship with Mexico and Detroit's with Canada is a HUGE difference when compared to other metro areas....my interest here was more about the subtler influence of being in more than one state)>
