I have to agree. Most of Baltimore is the ghetto. It's almost a mini-Detroit. Sad because the city is pretty dense and urban, but i don't see the city changing for the better anytime soon.

You're right, most of Baltimore is very rough, if not ghetto. They need to get their crime under control, but I very much doubt they will. It's not on the level of Detroit, but I certainly wouldn't want to live there. Very little of Pittsburgh is actual ghetto. We have our share of old, beat up neighborhoods, but they're definitely not ghettos. They're just old, working-class areas whose residents don't have a lot of money.
Because most people are at work during the day, so the only true "free time" is generally evenings and weekends. And DC (or the ocean) gives an ABUNDANCE of things to do on the weekends in reasonable driving time. If I were forced to make Baltimore work for me, I'd just live in a nice area of town and then maybe do some downtown stuff sometimes during some weeknights and have DC items (or occasionally Philly) for the weekends.
Most people don't have the time or money anyway to drive the hour to DC or to ocean so what difference does it make? I know people in Baltimore and they go down to DC and the ocean as much as Pittsburghers do. One or twice a year at most to both places. Google says Baltimore to Ocean City is a 2 hour and 35 minute drive and I'm sure that can take a bit longer in the busy season too.
It's just like when people on here argue Philly is better because it's close to NYC. I know quite a few people from college from the Philly area and they rarely go to NYC.
Pittsburgh gets the slight advantage this season. The Steelers and Ravens split the regular-season series, but the Steelers cumulatively outscored the Ravens, 39-38. Both teams finished 8-8 this season, but the Steelers are in second place in the AFC North over the Ravens due to a better conference record.

The Ravens didn't want it this year; offense definitively didn't.
Most of the people that I know rarely (if ever) go to DC. I've personally been to Philly and NYC more times than I've been to DC.
and that's why the next generation in both DC and Baltimore needs to let go of the past and venture the other city more often. I mean for ****sakes the two cities are only 35 miles apart.

People have their own reasons why. It's their choice.
