Downtown Baltimore is about 20 minutes from Columbia by car most times of the day. If you live in the parts of Silver Spring nearer to US-29 you can get to work and the District within about a half an hour during work hours

Why on earth would you do that? Silver Spring is just a more crowded version of Columbia. Might as well just live in Columbia.

They said they wanted easy access both to Columbia and a big city downtown. Commuting between DC and Columbia is a pain in the ass because there's no public transit and the beltway is a nightmare. In any event that's why I recommended Baltimore first. It's much cheaper and more fun to hang out in.

Because there are more housing options and more activity options? Plus access to metro and better walkability.
