Get off the guys' nuts, johnatl. Him saying DC is a suburb or New York is basically stretching the entire definition of suburb beyond what it actually means. There are other words for what he is trying to describe; 'suburb' is not it.
Than that i means i live in a suburb of New York! Cool!
That would be cool if Baltimore was a NY suburb! I never realized it was so close. This weekend I might go to Gunpowder Falls for a picnic lol. Just one problem though! People here on CD will start calling ALL Marylanders RUDE even though they never met them before!

Richard Florida probably likes to exaggerate to get attention, but he has written and said a number of things about urban issues. One thing he came up with a few years ago is Torbuffchester (Toronto-Buffalo-Rochester metro area). Buffalo/Niagara Falls at least seems to be slowly moving into Toronto's orbit. The Buffalo Bills for instance are playing some of their home games in Toronto!

If Baltimore was a New York suburb it would go from not too noticed to even less noticed! It would disappear
But to your last statement, we are already considered rude!
it wouldn't be too much of a change
He should have said their economies have become interconnected by default and many people commute between them for work and play.
The end! Not a suburb! suburb is short for suburban area, DC is NOT a suburb! it is URBAN, and there is another MAJOR city in between (Philadelphia) along with several others.
