Yes, they should address it with local government and I'm sure they do. However, that's not a perfectly effecient system either. There's often one or two vocal citizens that can obstruct the process for small businesses. Just to be clear, I don't feel governments should favor small businesses over residential or vice versa, but just that complaining to local government means getting politics involved. The other issue is that perhaps the businesses want the parking for customers. Seems silly to cut off a bunch of parking for 20 minutes of deliveries in a day as well. Lots of cities were just not designed with the modern world in mind and these industries grow out of the problems.
