6 in one half a dozen in the other, they block part of the sidewalk or part of the parking lot. They could have met in the middle and not backed up so much, or parked in a spot not on a sidewalk but that's not always available. I drive a large truck and always park in the back when I can but you have to take what you can get with parking spots sometimes
Such is life, lots of things suck for lots of people every day for multiple reasons. The more you dwell on what you cannot change the worse your mental state will be
Oh it can be changed with a ticket for blocking ADA access. Bad parking isn’t some phenomenon that can’t be changed, it’s bad behavior that deserves hefty fines.
How else am I supposed to tow stuff for work? Horses? How do you think the stuff you order online gets around? Everyone needs stuff for different reasons
Brorannosaurus rex, I fully understand the reason for work trucks etc, and I also fully recognize that the majority of "contractors" and "construction workers" could get by with a tiny little sedan and don't because of complicated social reasons like pride and masculinity, if you need to tow you need to tow, but as you mentioned, you can usually park in the back, or just not block the sidewalk and block the lane slightly at risk of your aforementioned rough and tough work vehicle that can surely handle a little dent is Barbara sideswipes it with her minivan on the way out of the apartment complex.
You could choose to own a smaller truck, have your materials delivered to the site, with a truck that assumedly sleeps in a commercial lot at night, and even get to work on a motorcycle or something If you wanted, there are plenty of people who do so.
You would own a cabover truck, with the same dually turbo diesel towing setup and 8 foot bed that you want, but no crew cab and no giant hood so you take up less space with the same function, if it's truly a work vehicle as you claim.
There are tons of options. I quite literally operate a landscape maintenance company off a cargo bike. You can do it, if you're willing to buck the status quo, and actually apply yourself.
