I don't agree with this comment in this context, but I do know for a fact that the Washington DC Metro does not extend to the popular Georgetown shopping and nightlife district for precisely this reason.

I don't think it has much to do with intercity rail, though; it seems to be mainly an issue with opposition to metropolitan-area rapid-transit systems, with people worried that they'll blur boundaries between nice and not-nice neighborhoods within the same city.
