Wait how is the Bay Area one area yet DC and Baltimore not?
The Bay Area is very connected and urbanized around the bay. Baltimore suburbs touch D.C suburbs on two occasions andd the rest of he boundary is a mixture of farmland and parkland. https://www.google.com/maps/@39.1202...4,13z?hl=en-us
20 years it will be more connected.
I consider Chicago and Chicagoland in many ways as being synonomous. The metro area means far more than the city. So obviously I'm in total disageement with you
Residents of the city of Chicago would not agree with you. So help you God if you're a suburbanite who claims to be from Chicago.
That being said, Chicago has crafted the image of Chicagoland with itself at the center. All the suburbs get caught up in its orbit. The city just happens to have contempt for all of those said suburbs.
"North American Urban Agglomerations
04. Chicago, United States: 9,800,000
05. Washington, United States: 8,350,000 <<<Nothing Baltimore is conspicuously absent here.
06. San Francisco, United States: 7,600,000"
Don't forget you said this:
"DC shines in all metrics without Baltimore. The only thing it adds is total population and total GDP, no added diversity, median income, TPI, or immigration percentages are better with the inclusion of Baltimore. Relax, y'all aren't that important"
It might happen DC's influence in the CSA keeps strengthening while Baltimore's is just...Baltimore.
A DC poster had the check the other DC posters from doing the very thing that you need from of.
"For DC, easily MSA. Adding Baltimore gives the false sense of believing that DC is about the same size as Chicago when it isn't."
DC and Baltimore are completely distinct metros that happen to abut each other. I know people on this site like to geek out on commuter patterns, but DC and Baltimore are so distinct that natives have different accents. They’re culturally dissimilar. They’re even two separate media markets.

This was all from jiust one thread.
I'm lost, you just made my point for me. Once again what is DC gaining by mentioning Baltimore beyond total CSA population or GDP? And when have I or anyone else stated because of these that DC is more important? DC's MSA is already the 2nd largest on the EC and 3rd largest East of the Mississippi, without Baltimore, so what is your point? I can tell this topic touches you inside but trust to the rest of us, it's not that serious.
Also that urban agglomerations was a copy and paste post, continue to read the entire thread. I didn't post the cities names. I always hyphenate DC-Baltimore when talking of regional population or GDP outside MSA etc.

Correct and that's exactly what defines them as a CSA:
"A combined statistical area (CSA) is composed of adjacent metropolitan (MSA) and micropolitan statistical areas (µSA) in the United States and Puerto Rico that can demonstrate economic or social linkage. The United States Office of Management and Budget defines a CSA as consisting of various combinations of adjacent metropolitan and micropolitan areas with economic ties measured by commuting patterns. These areas that combine retain their own designations as metropolitan or micropolitan statistical areas within the larger combined statistical area.
The primary distinguishing factor between a CSA and an MSA/µSA is that the social and economic ties between the individual MSAs/µSAs within a CSA are at lower levels than between the counties within an MSA.[1] CSAs represent multiple metropolitan or micropolitan areas that have an employment interchange of at least 15% with the central county or counties of the parent MSA/µSA.[2] CSAs often represent regions with overlapping labor and media markets."

Everyone on this board knows how CSA is defined. The point is that it’s not a real reflection of a cohesive metro. The census also defines Libyans as white. Are we going to use that as the gold standard, as well?

The definitions are too broad for CSA boundaries because they use entire counties, we know that much. There is a purpose however, not all cities or metro areas or CSA's have the same setup or interactions. We've all gone over this on C-D. There are dual or tri city regions of the country that we compare to one central city metro and everyone gets into a hoopla when they feel a region is misrepresented. We're never going to really be able to change this.

Don't start tripping over your words now.
You wanted proof, you got proof, your own words no less. Lol

There is no proof of what your premise of tacking on Baltimore for gain was. All you did was post quotes of me mentioning DC and Baltimore in the same sentence, while various metrics were being discussed. Give it a break bro.
