How many automotive industries are there in Baltimore?

If Baltimore is bigger than Washington, DC, then why does DC seem so much bigger?

• The other day I asked if Baltimore was bigger than DC, and everyone says Baltimore is definitely bigger. But, I live in Baltimore and I visit DC often and DC seems much bigger in area size and population. DC feels more like New York to me than Baltimore ever will, and DC's downtown is much bigger than Baltimore's. I have literally walked from one end of downtown Baltimore to the next and back in 45 minutes. I could never do that in DC, but someone told me that Baltimore is 200 square miles and DC is only 68. It just does not seem right lol. The only thing bigger in Baltimore is to me is the buildings because they are taller.

• Answer:

  Washington doesn't even really have a downtown. Just a touristy area with a lot of large government buildings. I've always thought of Baltimore as the bigger city. Baltimore is only 92 square miles (81 square miles if you don't count the water). DC is 68 sq miles however (61 if you don't count the water).
