Which of these two cities would you prefer living in? Also, how do the different aspects of the city (night life, education, diversity, history) compare?

Boston, by all counts, besides maybe diversity.

Baltimore is a really cool city, and I'd love to spend some time there...but I don't think it matches up well here.

For sure...and it's hit some hard times. However it appears the city is undergoing a bit of a rejuvenation of sorts. It has a good unemployment rate (7.9% vs national average of 9.3%) and though its crime rate is still terrible, it's steadily improving. Hopefully the next decade is one of continuing improvement for the city.

Baltimore. The deciding factor to me being the weather. I don't think I could handle a New England winter. PA winters are bad enough.

This isn't even a contest, even for lukewarm supporters; Baltimore wouild have to clean itself up considerably to even begin to compete..

Boston, and the "homer" factor doesn't really apply to me here...

Baltimore wins for me. Boston reminds me too much of Seattle and San Francisco. Baltimore has a tough and gritty Rocky Balboa feel to it. Baltimore just feels more different and unique which is why I prefer it. Boston is definitely more white. Of course there is no right or wrong answer to a question like Boston vs. Baltimore. It's all a matter of opinion. Most people would pick Boston but I pick Baltimore.
