It's cheaper to maintain light rail trains

No it isn't. Only thing that's cheaper, like I said, would be startup when it comes to a completely new-build—and the North Shore isn't new-build by any stretch.

if that wasn't the case then they wouldn't be focusing on light rail more than heavy rail

These are politicians focusing on anything to try and get them votes. Perhaps you do not recall, but "light rail" was a 90s catchphrase for a while; it was used to describe any rail project from the Philly-Reading SEPTA project (a distance of well over 60 miles) to the New Orleans-Baton Rouge proposal (well over 80 miles).

there's other factors in there too

Yes, they're called "politicians' careers" and the false promises they boost them with. You can always count on a politician's ignorance.
