More food to 14th?

Just a few weeks ago, it was reported that DC's Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs would no longer issue building permits for food & drink establishments in the greater 14th & U Street area (formally known as the "Uptown Arts Overlay District" and partially known -- though not by me -- as "Mid City"), due to a rule that only allowed 25% of store fronts to be occupied by restaurants or bars.  What's funny is that I would have guessed we'd reached that percentage a while ago, especially with what seemed like a new spot opening every week in the neighborhood.

In any case, the rule was amended this week to increase the percentage to 30%, with the possibility/consideration of an increase to 50%.

Even for a foodie like me, that sounds like a LOT of food and drink real estate. But maybe that means I won't have to wait over an hour to get a seat at one of the hot spots on 14th? And maybe someone will decide to open a good Vietnamese restaurant on P Street, or a decent sushi spot around the corner from my place? One can hope, right?
