Or they'll build it, and people will still prefer to fly or drive, as they've been doing for decades.

LA spent billions to built a very nice subway system, that very few people actually use. Why, because the topology/commuting patterns of LA doesn't lend themselves to mass transit. There's no reason to thinkg the HSR would be any different.
