DC and Baltimore are a little further apart than that and Dallas and Fort Worth are closer. Not to mention city limit to city limit, Dallas and Fort Worth are only a couple of miles apart. And look up the commuting numbers. It'll tell you why Dallas and Fort Worth are one metro and DC and Baltimore are not.
I can understand that. But it's getting to the point where it's almost splitting hairs. DC and Baltimore MSAs are overlapping. There's no break at all between Howard and Montgomery counties. Frederick County is considered part of DC MSA even though it's farther from DC than Baltimore (!).

On this thread or the site? I was looking for that but couldn't find it.

Washington DC & Baltimore have nothing to worry about, I can see large commuter percentages between both already, if they keep that as an increase and reach 25% they'll get there. I will look at commuter numbers in just a moment.
Do you know if they plan to add faster train service between both? If they do then it's going to happen really soon.

the trains really only help to both cores and not the overlap (they from either metro connect at best in New Carrolton I believe), oddly I believe that it is Annarundal that actually creates the current connection which of just east of the core line of development
Glad to see Houston on the move. I hope we can keep up the growth but I'm skpetical. With NASA resources and jobs being downscaled or diverted to Florida and with the Moratoriam on Oil Drilling (companies allegedly threatening to take their operations overseas) I can our economic growth taking a moderate hit. How that will affect population growth, who knows. The only thing I can assume is that until something legit is done we will always grow due to illegal immigration. The question is will we be able to sustain legitimate migration as we have in the past couple of decades.

No, things changed for NASA, the Obama proposals failed, Houston is good about it
And oil drilling doesn't have a real effect on the economy.
Don't forget : Houston has a boom in the green energy, the medical sector (texas medical center had 75,000 jobs in 2009 but will have 105,000 jobs in 2013).The oil is not so important in Houston now, the huge growth will continue this decade.This population growth develops the retail sector in Houston, and the real estate sector too

True but trust. There is more continuous development between Dallas and Fort Worth and there is between Washington and Baltimore right now.
