Cars stole that space from people walking, horses, carts, bicycles, donkeys, livestock, etc.
For thousands of years it was normal for children to play in the street, for people to stop and converse, etc.
Then drivers turned up, said "move or I will kill you", and weirdly we decided the streets were for cars. It grates when people say that people walking have any less right to stand in the middle of the street because they're not wearing a car.

This was the result of a concerted PR campaign. https://www.citylab.com/transportation/2012/04/invention-jay...
Do the people look out of place here? http://static.libsyn.com/p/assets/c/c/3/a/cc3a56fafeaa6119/S...
Perhaps we should take some space from cars (really, from people who happen to be in cars) and give it back to people.
