One important ingredient was left out of your original post, Alexander:

Why would you (or most anyone else) want a six-foot wide by fifty-foot
long
basement, whether cost effective vs crawl space or not?

But the basement is right nest to the existing basement. I'vd love to have
the extra 300 sq. ft. of storage! Cut the existing foundation for access.
Not a big deal in the scheme of things.
