Downtown still has a lot of commercial buildings without loading docks--or outdated loading docks that can't handle modern volumes of deliveries. The entrances to buildings aren't always open in the back laneway. Side streets are often useless if there are no designated spaces for delivery trucks.
Streets are for people, including the working man who delivers packages and businesses that need quick and affordable deliveries. Perhaps Ford understood that because his blue-collar base of voters probably included courier drivers. It's often just smart to park in front of the main entrance if you're in the delivery business.
