Streetcars are way less obtrusive than cars. The whole street is for pedestrians except the one spot where the tracks are. The tracks are vacant most of the time because there aren't 10 billion streetcars zooming around 24/7. The streetcars are low speed and can stop quickly, so even if you walk out in front of one you're unlikely to be hurt. And they're public transit for the benefit of all those pedestrians. Walking doesn't makes sense for getting around without public transit.
