I wasn't implying that $200 million would anywhere near cover the costs of a subway expansion, nor that an H street expansion is at the top of my WMATA wish list (that would be the fabled "Purple Line"). But at this order of magnitude of costs/time, we might as well go all in with a subway expansion. It would be a huge boost to the neighborhood; I hear this all the time about H Street and other places in Northeast: "...but there's not a metro stop there".
