But if you wanna argue that they're one, that's fine, it doesn't really mean a whole great deal in the end, but I will likely continue to disagree with you.

As someone who grew up in Nova, the idea that DC and Baltimore was the same metro always felt odd. Baltimore always was it's own thing. It will probably always will be, no matter how well the suburbs connect.
Its not the same as the bay area or la/inland empire.
DC quickly ditched the Orioles when the Nationals came and could care less when the Ravens arrived in the 90s.
