The deep stations on the Washington Metrorail are a result of the
topography.  For example, Rosslyn Station is deep to allow the trains
to go under the Potomac River.  Likewise, Dupont Circle Station and
Rock Creek.  If you want subway stations nearer the surface, you'll
have to move to a place with a flatter topography.
