You may want to clarify that. Every interpretation of "footprint" that I've
ever dealt with was length and width and had no bearing on depth or height
(although height may still have some restrictions). Why would that care how
deep you went? Basements are usually not considered living space either for
real estate purposes, however, you local laws may differ.


I have read that a city near me (Manhattan Beach CA) has
restrictions on the size of houses and the size of basements. They
claim it is to reduce visible bulk. I think the real reason is
house envy. The people writing the laws do not want other people to
have bigger houses than they have.

Another example of the creeping socialism that has
taken over California government. The West used to
be the land of the free and the home of the brave.
What happened?
