Both cities have southern talking people because anywhere from Maryland and down is the south. Some people believe that Maryland is northern but that's just opinions that are not factual.
In today's time they are usually considered to be mid atlantic or N.E., but at one point they were both southern. Which of the two has more southern characteristics today?
I vote neither on accent, food, music, dress, politics and religion.
Maryland is not a southern state that's been out dated past the Civil War and it was part of the Union. This is factual the State is part of the Mid-Atlantic and DC is the capital of the North. The South starts in Va some people are stuck on the Mason-Dixon line.
Baltimore people don't have a southern accent especially the Blacks they are NY inflence however DC Blacks are more southern influence because of the Carolinas.
I highly doubt that the people that share the above opinion do not have strong ties to DC/Maryland and more than like transplants from areas south of Virginia.

Dug for Dog sounds country as hell. New York dudes don't sound anything like Bmore dudes.
Baltimore is more southern than DC. Just like Philadelphia is more northeastern than manhattan. why? because manhattan and DC have so many transplants and immigrants, they don't feel "southern" or "northeastern". they feel like international, world class hubs.

DC is hours away from the Carolinas. Other than Carolinians migrating to DC in the early 20th century, how did you come up with that? You know the Carolinians migrated further north during
the same period, right?
DC and Baltimore is not that much different to me, except for white collar and blue collar. Otherwise, they might as well be in the same, being one hour away from each other. They are basically in the same region.
DC, with its wide thoroughfares and buildings topping out at 10 floors or so, is the outlier among the big cities of Boswash. It feels more sunbelt in nature rather than its cousins - kinda like a somewhat denser Atlanta.

Yet it has more features typically associated with the Northeast than Baltimore: far superior and more extensive transit, higher density, better cultural institutions, more international population, wealthier, etc. DC also lacks Confederate monuments in its city proper unlike Baltimore.
Baltimore's Downtown is also an outlier among BosWash cities (albeit not as much as DC's...in a physical sense anyway). It doesn't have a bustling central core. Nobody would ever put Downtown Boston and Downtown Baltimore in the same sentence. That's something DC sort of measures up to the other cities on.
