Mine is GCB (Good Christian Bitches) with Kristen Chenoweth, Annie Potts, and Miriam Shor. It was brilliant.

I shriek-laughed multiple times watching this! I just about died during the scene with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang 😂

We’re in an overland floodplain because of Hooff’s Run too. If we do any “major” work on the house, we’d be required to abandon the basement as living space, but because it’s a “covered area greater then 7 feet in height,” it would still count against the FAR. 🙄

It's also beyond ridiculous that covered porches and space under outdoor decks counts against FAR. Additionally, because of the way the zoning code is written if we do any renovation to the EXISTING house, we would need to REDUCE its size! 🤯

FAR in Alexandria seems ridiculous and arbitrary. We're 2 blocks from the King St Metro on a 1902sf lot, but because we're zoned for .75 FAR, AND because our walk-out basement doesn't count as as "basement," our existing house already exceeds the FAR. And don't get me started on "open space..."
