Certainly not true when it comes to rail transit in America. Not sure why HSR would be different.

Construction doesn't induce demand, as has been shown countless times, but the U.S. is still spending megabillions on rail in exurban TX while actual viable routes wither.

The only viable HSR route in NA is the NE corridor, at least presently.
