You also lose it anytime someone mentions DC and Baltimore in the same breath. I was mainly responding to Joakim who said Laurel is a Baltimore leaning suburb. Nobody trying to claim Catonsville and Glen Burnie as DC suburbs.
You just tried to claim Severn which literary borders Glen Burnie.

No sir I said it could go either way but yes Severn is Baltimore's exurb. Let me rephrase, DC folks may not go to these areas but the entire area of Gambrills, FtMeade, to Annapolis all encroach upon Bowie, Crofton, Laurel.

It doesn't go either way. It's a Baltimore Suburb, not exurb.

Out of curiosity do you know what the definition of an exurb is? Because Severn is the farthest thing from that definition.
An example of a Baltimore exurb would be Hanover, PA.
I don’t do this for reps. It was a genuine question.
An exurb is municipality outside of the MSA (Hanover, PA - Baltimore) not a few miles from its the primary cities beltway (Severan). No, Severn is not and edge city like Towson, but it’s also not Westminster either.

St. Paul is now a larger city than Cincinnati, St. Louis or Pittsburgh. If it were on its own, it would be considered a metropolitan area in the same league as those cities, but it tends to get overlooked.
Exactly. 100% spot on. At that it's the state capital. Like I said I consider MSP co-cities of the same metro area, with Minny clearly being the more prominent, but SP is not a true satellite city, or exurb, or whatever people are trying to define here.

I said that similar to MSP that DC and Baltimore function independently. Not that DC and Baltimore function "like" MSP.
"The cities themselves (DC-Balt) by default cannot be satellites of one another. They are both primary in close proximity. But I also feel the same about Minneapolis and St. Paul, those two are just clearly closer, and more culturally aligned, but have their own independence of function, and it doesn't make St Paul a "satellite".
There are differences, no ignoring that MSP is a smaller and single metro, and single media market. But I'm referring to city function. St. Paul isn't a satellite of Minneapolis. It's a co-city neighbor.

Theyre also in the same Metro. Baltimore and DC are not. But I get what your were trying to say now that you cleared it up. MSP may be more like Raleigh/Durham. RDU is a CSA, but their physical borders touch, and it's one media market.
