Boston for me, I love that city.

Baltimore is cool though, it has the potential to be a great city.

Boston by far for me. So much more interesting and safer too.

Baltimore hands down. I've never had any issues with safety in Baltimore. I'm pretty sure there isnt anything that can be done in Boston that can't be done in Baltimore either.

I like Baltimore a lot, but Boston is much bigger and overall prefer all it has to offer. Though I probably could live in either and to me that says a lot because there are probably ten or less places in the US I would say that about

I also think Baltimore is vastly under the radar on this forum and maybe the general national perception. Baltimore is number 5 in the NE and could be a top 2 or 3 city in many other regions. Being 45 minutes from DC, a little over an hour from Philly and about 2.5 hours from NYC does have an effect in this regard.

Than which, DC, maybe technically but the DC is far larger Metro and feels it. Look I like Baltimore a lot but that is probably taking some liberties. I mean Jacksonville and San Antonio, hell I think Austin is too but anyone who has been to these places would not say they are bigger than either DC or Baltimore for that matter let alone the numerous other cities (SF and Boston to name a few) that they are technically larger than.

I was saying Baltimore is a larger city than Boston. You're fine, I'm not getting defensive. I know how Baltimore is percieved in the grand scheme of things. However, I also know that baltimore is underrated.
