This! What an insane framing from the times. 15 odd years ago the city gradually began converting manhattan avenue parking to more and more commercial loading zones because of double parking, and it worked. But despite proof that it works and pressure from transit groups (e.g. TransAlt -- primarily bike advocacy -- pitches a loading zone on every side of every block), the city has never been willing to do this on streets or most other boroughs. The ticket money and jobs might present a conflict of interest, or it might just be entitled car-owning lifers. But it's insane, because double parking is incredibly harmful to traffic flows, dangerous to truck drivers and cyclists, and unnecessary in a city whose residents who largely demand truck deliveries all day every day and don't need or want the free/cheap parking.
