Not quite.
That number is a combined figure for all delivery trucks, with UPS being the biggest offender at something like 633k (for calendar year 2023)
That said, whether its UPS or Fedex or any other delivery company, they get away with far more than they get ticketed. Parking enforcement just isn’t fast or ubiquitous enough to ticket every instance of a double parked UPS van.
So not free as you suggested before. Okie dokie.
I also found a parking space at the Guerrero Tartine (commercial zone, I drove a van at the time), and I remember getting an excellent pizza. But I don’t see pizza on their website now. Am I misremembering?
That’s me! The only real talent I possess, I wish I could find a way to monetize it. I’ll probably jinx it by bragging, but I have great parking luck/skill in the city and like your dad, will be waiting in front of the restaurant while people text me saying they are looking for parking.
Chinatown yes, but North Beach is easy. Then again I worked at an office in North Beach for six years and parked on the street so know all the secret spots.
I think part of the parking karma is actually memory or memorizing locations. Or as Constanza on Seinfeld said, nobody in my family can pay for parking, it’s a sickness. 
When I lived in SF, I had a mental Parking Probability Gradient covering most of the city (PPG_sf) .
i.e what you need is given your current location X,Y and time-of-day T to know which path to drive to maximize the odds of finding parking (while constrained by your destination location).
e.g. if you are at 16th and Valencia, you obviously dont want to head down Valencia toward 17th … unless maybe it is >2am (or Burn Man Week etc).
I was going to a talk at USF a few months ago … I had no field values in that zone and it took me forever driving aimlessly to find parking, which I knew objectively was not that bad. Indeed my eventual spot was on Turk itself next to the campus. ObFood: I went to GOLDEN BOY PIZZA afterwards … speaking of NB Parking.
ETA: I was totally flabbergasted to see a 16oz baguette today at WHOLE FOOD/Temescal for … $9.99.
Speaking of parking and prices: I wanted to try the new spot for Maillard’s on Noriega near 46th Avenue, they open at 4 pm on Wednesdays Thursdays Fridays then at noon on the weekends. Arrived at 3:25, there was parking right in front, we were second in the line.
Fries are fried in beef tallow, excellent, only Heinz in packets. Ate ½,regular, ½ spicy (took other halves home for my daughter to have when she returned home from work).
Wanted a lemonade but changed my mind when I found out they charge $6 for it. The also tack on 4% “Mandate” to your bill.
Burger is very good but I don’t need to try it again.
For pastries, b. Patisserie is excellent and much more reasonable prices than Tartine.
