If you lose your job there may be things you need as well but should probably wait till you have a job instead of taking on debt with no source of revenue. To me low interest rates are a poor reason to borrow and spend. There's better ways to stimulate a sagging economy and create jobs.
Neither the Green Line nor SWRR are shovel ready. However, the funds that the government have already given the city to complete the technical studies and planning to make them shovel ready is employing people and getting the projects closer to being shovel ready.
