As soon as a freeway is announced, developers are buying land along the right of way and developing housing. That's why its at capacity when it opens.

To the extent that is true, its just the reason (or really a reason, there is no way that all the demand comes from new development decisions) for my statement being true "The fact that its almost full right away shows that there was real demand for it".

The demand might be moved to where the road is being built by the actions of the developers. Well then good. That means we efficiently use the resource of the new road, rather than having a new road that isn't used, while having a bad traffic jam as developers build in areas where new capacity isn't being built.
