Its only once a life time because of the expense. You can look at cities like Montreal and Toronto which more on going large-scale projects then NYC

Toronto and Montreal are both huge cities - if they were in the US they would be the 3rd and 5th largest cities in the country, respectively. Yes extremely large cities like that can be continuously building, but when you get to cities a tenth that size like say Cleveland, the number of projects you have are naturally limited and even if things were dramatically cheaper you're not going to tear up perfectly good infrastructure to replace it just as a training exercise.
