Agreed. Our 4400 is "usable square footage". Usable is squishy, too. Jerome's experience in architecture, for instance, gives him unique perspective on ways to use space that most of us probably don't have. And on our end, we're changing our layout every 6 months or so and finding ways to make the space "more usable" which results in the ability to support more simultaneous members. Every time, it feels like we get more efficient, but the space size obviously doesn't change :)
