On principle, I agree.

In practice, delivery vehicles don't have a place to safely stop, because that space is allocated to free street parking for private vehicles.

Subsidized street parking for cars are externalizing their costs onto UPS/Fedex/Amazon, etc. who are then passing that cost along to the safety of the public.



Yep! Market rate for private parking, and offering subsidized short-term commercial parking (which generally has broader societal benefit than private parking) with appropriate safeguards for abuse would be great!
