Lol golden handcuffs imo.
I once lifted with a dude who has a huge basement gym. Its under his 3 car garage. The ceiling is concrete panels, and its about 10' high. Its more than twice as much space as mine, and because of its placement under the garage, noise to the rest of the house is minimal. The house is built on a sloped lot with a walkout basement, so he was able to put in a double-wide doorway to the outside for ease of moving large equipment in & out. He does move equipment in & out frequently for local powerlifting meets.
If I were having a new house built, I'd strongly consider his type of setup.
