You're correct - all idea's come with costs. I think most of the ideas I mentioned though wouldn't be as expensive as 1 overpass. And I certainly wouldn't expect them to occur overnight, or even succeed right away. But future generations might be happy.

We need 4-car trains. We needed them 7 years ago. I get on at Canyon Meadows station in the morning and it's standing room only. This is the third stop on the south line.
We also need the 8th ave subway along with SE LRT pretty badly.
