I agree. To send the line up Fairfax, or even worse send it up La Brea, would be rather unfortunate as it would result in the western half of West Hollywood completing missing out on rail transit. The retail, bars, & restaurants along Santa Monica Blvd to the west of Fairfax would be at a disadvantage to areas further east. Plus, serving Cedars-Sinai would be beneficial to patients & employees.

Personally, I'd send it from San Vicente briefly up Fairfax to 3rd St (The Grove), then west to La Cienega where it would turn north to Santa Monica Blvd. But the cost of subway light rail construction beginning at San Vicente & Fairfax might be too much. So sending the line further along San Vicente and then descending underground somewhere in the vicinity of Cedars-Sinai might prove a better option.
