The Bowl and Board space

[dangone.livejournal.com]

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.

the original poster is surely outrage by the high amount of the rent, and dismayed that "someone with money they don't like" might afford it.

of course, if the rent were reasonable, someone they don't like might still afford it.

being able to control the landlord's rent is at best silly and at worst, terrible.

Isn't it possible he has valid reasons for "not liking" a certain class of tenant?
