It's growth has been sluggish but may start to accelerate.
Yeah, the "metro" lines are so blurred between NY and DC though.

It's so tough to definitively say where NY ends and Philly begins and Philly ends and Baltimore begins and Baltimore ends and DC begins. And attempting to assign hard and definitive numerical values to areas withing such soft and fuzzy borders is just crazy talk, really.

I think we somehow need to get to a point where we don't treat the nodes as separate entities, but rather individual parts of a whole.
