You're entitled to your opinion, but I still think you don't even know which buildings you're talking about.
These Central Park South buildings are overwhelmingly from the 1920's, not the 1960's, are usually built of extremely high quality (limestone fronts and the like), and many are landmarked. Most of them aren't going anywhere.
The one building I see in the pic that's from the 1960's is on the right-hand side, and is considered one of the best residential buildings of its era. It's almost universally praised for the dramatic curve at CPS/7th.
