This is New York City, and from the Google Street View image, it looks like there’s not a lot of street parking there.
My guess is that a number of cities with a lot of density, like NYC, probably should mandate a certain amount of public parking garage space for users in an area. Multistory parking garage space isn’t cheap, but using up street space via committing space to street parking also has costs in terms of congestion, even if the business owner doesn’t bear the costs.
EDIT: I also note, by way driving the point home with a sledgehammer, that in my Google Street View image, there’s a different vehicle parked on the sidewalk in the same spot, a red sports car.
also, that bus is there across a few years of street view. Why the heck does NYC need school busses in a dense city?
If it’s there that consistently, it might live there (is that a school over on the left?). But even schools that don’t regularly collect students with dedicated school busses might want to have some for taking groups places, either transporting them between buildings in the district or for field trips or similar.

Or they could build and maintain a functional public transit network that allows people to get around without cars.
I see your point, but I think it’s a patch on a broken system - even as someone who primarily uses a car for transportation.
Personally, I think this person should be towed immediately. No excuse.

You think the solution to parking problems is letting assholes park on the sidewalk?
No. What in my comment gave you that impression?
Saying it’s a lack of street parking.
