Yes, .....
I moved the laundry upstairs!
Can't argue with that, I guess, but I have a fairly decent-size basement already (whole-home footprint) and have relatively modest layout needs (after many years of building layouts and many moves). The area I have for the layout will serve me quite well, and equally important to me is the lounge area which has cable TV, leather sofa and recliner, dining room-type table and chairs, and a fireplace. Will eventually have a refrigerator, microwave, popcorn maker, coffee maker, and ample wall space for my train display cases. Should result in quite a comfortable space for me and any visitors (train buddies) and the trains can still be easily viewed from that area.
