This is a completely bogus statement. It's called induced demand.

Then explain why the Cascades south of Portland have failed to attract ridership after all these years.

Induced demand is not an end-all, be-all fact. I-90 in eastern Washington is not gridlocked 24/7/365 with 200 mile long backups from Cle Elum to Coeur d'Alene. I-84 in eastern Oregon isn't crawling at 5 MPH from Troutdale to Ontario. And even the existing Cascades Portland-Seattle, pre-COVID, was hardly "full" - so where's the "Induced Demand"?

The only thing bogus, is believing "Induced Demand" is an absolute black or white fact.
