I will say I remember The NY Times gushing about DC's metro a few years back, so I'm sceptical of their reporting on this stuff in general.

The focus on raising funding in a system that produces a lot of money that's inefficiently used, putting it under the control the mayor...

When the metropolitan area largely falls outside of the city limits (and state borders as well).

Agreed, those are wrongheaded on his part
-
Other than that his only point is to focus on existing rather than new lines,which is easy for me to accede to but maybe not the underserved
-
I have to agree with him on that point; the underserved would be stuck with feeble new service unless existing is shored up first
-
I probably agree, though I wonder to what extent the reduced station congestion resulting from new lines helps existing line service.

very little in a busy system, I expect, because of induced demand

Induced demand does mean cars off the street though, so there is that. Hard for me to be critical of a new line as long as it's busy.
