1. Baltimore?
In what lifetime? I mean, the Light Rail system is constantly going out. The subway is a joke. And the buses are pretty lame. Of course, it's better than DC, even though we do have a nice Metro system.

I was very impressed with the public transportation in the SF/San Jose area. I didn't even need the car that I rented, except to drive up to Pacifica and San Francisco. I'd have taken Caltrain except that I wanted to make a side trip.

2. Portland rocks
:)
You can get from anywhere to anywhere inside Portland in less than an hour on Pub. Trans.

However, in the suburbs it's tough to walk to a lot of places. I'm 1/2 block from the main road, but I have to walk 3 blocks to get there. At the strip malls there are no sidewalks, as they have been built for cars.
