Well to an observer travelling at 0.9999944444 of the speed of light they are only 10 miles apart.....
Of course that observer is about 300 times as heavy as he is at rest (must be a he no woman would voluntarily make herself heavier) and probably has enough problems breathing without worrying about manhattan and San Francisco only being 10 miles apart.....
