I feel that their proposal of building the SE fully, and then doing the North at a later time just makes it even more challenging for the north to get it's line that was needed yesterday. The current proposal for the SE is easy and relatively cheap to extend on. By getting to 16th ave, the hard part of the north line is done. The only obstacles at that point in going north is required land acquisitions and funding. If they hold off now, then they're going to have to add the heavy cost of crossing the river onto the obstacles list.
It's better to get the hard parts over and done with now. Therefore extensions are as painless as possible.
