I know NYC has extremely construction costs per mile but I've never heard that about Chicago, Washington DC or Philadelphia.

Philadelphia hasn't really expanded its subway system since the 1950s as far as I can tell. Only a few renovations of certain stretches of track (much of which is actually elevated, not underground). Even then, its not a very extensive system; just a north<->south line and a northeast<->west line.
