It seems like every time they update their website it ends up on HN and everything the discussion is the same. Unless the website actually introduces new facts or plans I wish it’d stop popping up.

There's no hint of "cars are bad" in this article, so it's not the standard StrongTowns article that gets posted to HN.
Time to move to Japan i guess.
Somewhat ironic in contrast to the article's push for us to do unglamourous, boring tasks like maintaining the basics.

Yes, the same thing will pop up again and again until it starts to look like a solved problem; in the case of maintenance problems, reasonably funded systems are what is needed to resolve the issue so that it can reach a steady state over the long term.

It may not be novel to you, but that's just it: this novelty seeking behaviour comes at a cost to all the basic things that don't get the attention they should.
