    I think Baltimore is so vulnerable to the DC housing market. If prices fall in DC, you bet more buyers will snap up properties in DC proper at the expense of Baltimore.

    Second, Baltimore has a more serious crime problem than Washington, DC. Crime rates for homocides, drugs, assaults are increasing faster in Baltimore than Washington, DC.

    The school system in Baltimore is so corrupt and ineffective that it makes the DC public school system look like an efficient operation.

    Third, the Washington, DC economy could also effect Charm City. If the boom years of Homeland Security funding decline and a new administration slashes the federal budget (leading to job loss and business extinction), Baltimore will feel the pain too.

    If Washington, DC gets sick, the bug will eventually make Baltimore sick too.

    So how many is "lots of row houses"? More than 10% of the total supply? If not, no big deal.
