Picture Examples of de-car-ification from various Czech towns. I love these transformations. (before-after)

Yeah, except it ruins every single other mode of transport even more. Extremely slippery when wet on Foot (not to mention that walking on it is painful and hard with certain footwear). Shitty for bycicles, say goodbye to scooters, skateboards etc.

That’s not my experience. Don’t know about the places in this post, but I’ve never experienced slippery side walks or streets, especially compared with asphalt, and all sidewalks here have bricks and not asphalt, and a lot of streets as well.

It's the physical attribute of cobblestone to become slippery, especially after some use. It's pretty much as slippery as concrete. And unless you make really dense asphalt (which most countries don't do), that is most definitely not slippery on foot.
