What have they proposed for people who live below 59th street but want to go somewhere above it (movie?, dinner?, visit a friend who lives above 59th?) and then go home? That's my situation in SF.

I agree they need to enforce double parking laws and other laws against things that impede traffic but even that may not help much because delivery trucks may consider such fines a cost of business--it might even be tax deductible for them or they will up the cost of goods delivered and consumers will end up paying for it.
