Helsinki has had trams from the beginning, and many new residential developments are being built with them in mind. Two examples are Jätkäsaari and Kalasatama.

Extending the metro line with just one or two stations, 90 degrees off its existing tracks, would be STUPID levels of expensive in comparison.
