In general, I think short term (<15min) parking needs to be more available and free in more locations, while longer term parking needs to be less available and paid in more locations. Such short term parking is really just a function of driving at all — whereas longer term parking is car storage.
Absolutely more short term loading zones are needed. This should be the actual parking minimum: "Some way to accept deliveries without blocking traffic or sidewalks".
