The Bowl and Board space

So I was just thinking, is there anything that we can do as a community to prevent the landlords from charging an exorbitant amount of rent for that space?

I had posted yesterday that the space is on loopnet.com for 20k and people started tweeting about it, everyone in shock.  Basically it got me thinking, do residents have a say in what gets placed in the space?

Only a restaurant or bar or chain will be able to afford that rent.

It would really suck if it was a Qdoba.

We already have two sushi places, Taipei Tokyo and Snappy Sushi.

I should say I want a really good sushi place, like a Toraya or Hana circa 2-3 years ago (or 4 if we can get David back here - I really miss him!). I do need to try Yoshi up by powerderhouse as I have heard good things for a bit now on that place.

And to be technical, Snappy isn't even sushi - its raw fish/veggies and brown rice. The texture, to me, is something I really can't fathom (though teko has a point that it may work well for veggie based - still)
