Let's break down structural density for D.C., Philly, Baltimore, and Boston. The fact that you guys think these cities come anywhere near D.C. is pretty funny.
Washington D.C. 61.4 square miles:
Total Buildings: 1,479
Lowrise Buildings: 961
Highrise Buildings: 416
Skyscrapers: 0
Are you serious with this list? They list statues, monuments, and bridges as lowrises and we all know DC has lots of statues and monuments.
Why is it so hard to comprehend. DC has more office space than Philly, Boston and Baltimore with height restrictions in place, so that equates to more buildings in the 12-13 story range. Plus DT DC is over two miles wide east to west and about 2 miles from north to south. It's huge.

"It's huge"
4 square miles is not huge. It's really not even big.
Most of the houses are set back away from the streets with yards. SE DC has a lot of suburban style apartments.
D.C. is on a different level than Baltimore when it comes to buildings. And they sure aren't set back from the street except far from the core of the city. Baltimore's downtown is tiny. Most of the city is just rowhouses and single family houses. There are very few actual buildings in Baltimore.
Any chance you guys can just create a Baltimore vs DC thread? I know it's a lot of work to do it but, oh wait , you literally only have to press one button then you guys can argue in there

I didn't say 4 square miles. I said 4 miles!
