Exactly. And deciding what should stay or go based on one's
personal taste is what I was talking about. And just so mistermetAJ knows, "new" is progress:

Those buildings along CPS are mostly nothing special, but they work together to form the "Central Park South" streetwall that is the border of the park's southern end, similar to 5th Ave and CPW. As we've seen with 15 CPW, the new can work as well.
