Why not use
```const vpc = new awsx.ec2.Vpc...
...vpc.subnetIds...```

<@U018VKHK93Q> not sure what you’re suggesting here.
`vpc.subnetIds` does not exist. Maybe you’re referring to one of `vpc.publicSubnetIds`, `vpc.privateSubnetIds` or `vpc.isolatedSubnetIds` but that does not fit our needs. We use `getSubnetIds` because it provides a filtering capability.

One other idea, may be separate into two projects with StackReference? I've found things to be a lot more stable and tractable by keeping projects relatively small. Plus much easier to edit state if something does go bad.
