We'd still have induced demand even if we had teleportation, the bottleneck would just be the capacity of venues, restaurants, and retail businesses.

You wouldn't consider casually popping into a Paris cafe if the wait was always 4 hours or you had to have a reservation months in advance, which would be the case if travel time was a non-factor for everyone

We might end up with less because we realize we already overbuilt and restaurants were depending on local captivity.
