Seattle has 3.5 million people now. A good rail system will be serving the city in MANY generations to come. And yes future cost of money but it also seems these projects become ever more expensive too if delayed. Anecdotally, I've traveled a reasonable amount. Any city I've been to with a world calls metro system (6 I've seen) are all hugely appreciated by the local and tourists alike. I've never head someone say "that underground was a waste of money". In cities without metros I've heard a bunch of complaints about the lack of the ability to move around quickly/easily.
