Unfortunately your sentiments are only shared by you and a small minority as mentioned already. If I'm not mistaken you're the one who finds the time to comment in threads about DC relentlessly and seem to skip reality every time. I've given and honest opinion and fact based statement about Baltimore having its advantages being in the same CSA as DC. Per usual you fail to accept that fact and run off on a tangent about "soulless cities" blah blah etc.
There is no where in my posts about "attachment" or making a point of these two cities being one. Now as usual can we get the thread back on topic.
I wish that was the case, but unfortunately my sentiments are shared by many. Also, post the threads that I "relentlessly" talk about DC. Let's see the subject matter; the vast majority is a reply to something you've said regarding Baltimore.
Reality is, as successful and important as DC is, the cities around it don't want to be associated with it. Richmond doesn't want to, Baltimore certainly doesn't. You've noticed that YOU are the person bringing up CSAs, people from Baltimore don't. People who are from DC don't even want to associate with DC anymore.
You bring up Baltimore more than I do. I know DC isn't used to doing anything on it's own, but damn.. get off Baltimore.
I'd give Baltimore architecture too. However, I love how Gardiner Expressway sorta snakes through all the new condos that have gone up lately.
Baltimore makes better use of its waterfront (of course) and has more activities on or around the water.
Yeah I think you're right. Baltimore did actually seem to have a more developed waterfront to me, just going off the times I've been to each. Toronto seems to have done the opposite of what most cities did, and developed primarily away from the main waterfront, perpendicularly. The only other city I can think of like that is Philly. Baltimore is a lot older than Toronto, which really only starting really growing somewhat recently. I'm sure the Toronto waterfront still has a long way to go in development.

This is because the Gardiner split the rest of the city from the waterfront.
I don't understand why threads like this are started except to troll.
In order to make FAIR comparisons then the cities themselves must be relatively the same {economic, social, political, artistic} league. The Tor/SF thread is a fair one but this isn't.
This feels like another one of those set up polls started by an insecure Canadian. Why don't they ever put up Toronto vs. New York? Or Toronto vs. Paris or London?
The OP seems to only post country vs country or city vs city...places all over the world, but, take a slag at Canada.
Same CSA dude. We all associate Baltimore with DC.
Nah...lol
I dont and many people I know in D.C. dont even think about Baltimore accept maybe a cheaper flight out of BWI.
