D.C. and Baltimore are two cities in close proximity with a ton of suburbs in and around them. People live in Washington or its suburbs and work in Baltimore and vice versa. There is rail and transit that connects the two. Here is a link I edited into my last post:

Baltimore

My company is headquartered in a suburb of D.C. and people who work there live all over the metro area, just like people do here in North Texas.
There arent even enough commuters between the two to even make it a metro area. It remains a CSA. There is some cross over in the DC burns in Maryland.

but Houston does have an advantage in its sea port and oil.

anyway, I was the one who made the crutch comment, and it was clearly in jest (no matter how true I made it sound). If you can't differentiate the jokes from the serious posts then you are in the wrong thread (cause aint nothing serious in here

LOL, whatever. You're reaching and moving the goal posts now. Before you said they were over 90 miles apart. You're the only person I've ever heard try to argue that the two cities aren't a regionally related metro area.

Moving back on to Dallas and Houston...

nothing I say is a lie, some just get their feelings hurt based on how I list the facts.

It IS true that North Texas developed as a region. Where you get hurt is when I tell you that Dallas need multiple crutches in order to stand up with the big boys.

You know your airport would be puny if you were not granted an airport as a region.


see how that went?

You should check the City vs city section sometime. Many who actually live in that area agree with what I'm saying. They are not the same metro. You're the first person ive seen try to suggest that they are the same metro.

Advantage: Houston

Except, San Jacinto Monument isn't in Houston. That would be La Porte.

Speaking of which, IAH should have been named after LBJ, instead of Bush.
