Graded and trenched along the rear wall to fix a leak in the basement.

Not knowing where you are talking about here are some details: The property must meet health and safety codes, it must fit the General Plan, it must be contiguous with use on the street and the tract, not cause parking problems, not cause utility stress, neighbors can object, you may need architectural or engineering, plans, specs, drawings to submit with your proposal, there may be a public hearing, it costs money, you will want to walk the neighborhood to convince the people tp the left right and rear to be on your side...

One big repair (furnace, roof, sewer line) and/or a few months of unanticipated vacancy can knock you on your rear.

Trying to force youngsters to do things can be such an uphill battle sometimes, and you are banking your business income on this.

Many of the townhouses had rear garages and needed that land for access to their garage.

This leak is typically the source of a great deal of water damage at the rear of the counter, and, when it leaks through the cutout and drips into the sink base, it will rot out the whole bottom of your cabinet.

I also removed the sliding glass door to the upstairs deck that has been demo'd and framed it in for a windowHere is a view from the rear.
