Argument 2:
The following appeared in a letter sent by a committee of homeowners from the Deerhaven Acres to all homeowners in Deerhaven Acres.

"Seven years ago, homeowners in nearby Brookville community adopted a set of restrictions on how the community`s yards should be landscaped and what colors the ecteriors of homes should be painted. Since then, average property values have tripled in Brookville. In order to raise property values in Deerhaven Acres, we should adopt our own set of restrictions on landscaping and housepainting."


The argument contains several facets that are questionable. First, there has a flaw of cause-effect fallacies. In addition, there has a false analogy between Brookville community and Deerhaven Acres. The argument also fails to infer a future condition from a past condition. I will discuss each of these facets in turn.

First, the restrictions that yards should be landscaped and exteriors of homes should be painted formulating colors in Brookville community may do not the reason of tripling the average property values of the community. The homeowners are failing to consider other possible alternatives to the increasing average property values. Such alternatives may include the fact that inflation cause the average prices to increase, so the values` adding is just a fault appearance, the actual price may go up slight or balance, even decrease then the level of seven years ago that depend on how serious the inflation is. In addition, even if there has no inflation, the market demand on Brookville community is also an aspect. Maybe the community has too many people need to buy new houses results the increasing property values. Also, speculation could be another point. Merchants in order to get a high profit at first bought houses with a lower price and then speculation them with a higher price sold out. Factors such as these could explain why average property values tripled in Brookville community.

Even if Brookville community has a success because of adopting these restrictions makes the average property values tripled, there is no reason the Deerhaven Acres need adopt the same restrictions. There may be some differences between Brookville and Deerhaven makes the assumption not available. For instance, the locations might be different, the Brookville community might near a big city alone seaside while the Deerhaven Acres might in a little country in the inland, so there could not effective if Deerhaven used Brookville`s restrictions. Also there may have a assumption that the residents in Deerhaven do not take the landscaping and housepainting as a main consideration when choosing their houses or the Deerhaven Acres` houses already had the colors and landscapes content their people best, so the restrictions seems no use at all.

Finally, even if the Brookville community`s restrictions are available to Deerhaven Acres, the author fails to consider the time condition difference that the restrictions adopted seven years ago may not possible used today. Maybe some conditions have changed in these years. There are some assumptions that maybe the colors and landscapes are not the residents` considerations when choosing a house; or there have no demand for new houses since the decreasing numbers of civil...

In conclusion, the argument, while it seems logical at first, has several flaws as discussed above. The argument could be improved by providing more evident on the restrictions really caused the increasing property values of Brookville community and could be used by Deerhaven Acres today.

First, the restrictions that yards should be landscaped and exteriors of homes should be painted formulating colors in Brookville community may do not the reason这里do不对吧，cannot be the reason of tripling the average property values of the community. The homeowners are failing to consider other possible alternatives to the increasing average property values. Such alternatives may include the fact that inflation cause the average prices to increase, so the values` adding is just a fault这是名词，不能修饰 appearance, the actual price may go up slight or balance, even decrease then the level of seven years ago that depend on how serious the inflation is. In addition, even if there has no inflation, the market demand on Brookville community is also an aspect. Maybe the community has too many people need to buy new houses results the increasing property values. Also, speculation could be another point. Merchants in order to get a high profit at first bought houses with a lower price and then speculation them两个名词摆一起，不大对 with a higher price sold out. Factors such as these could explain why average property values tripled in Brookville community.

Even if Brookville community has a success because of adopting these restrictions makes the average property values tripled, there is no reason the Deerhaven Acres need adopt the same restrictions. There may be some differences between Brookville and Deerhaven makes the assumption not available. For instance, the locations might be different, the Brookville community might near a big city alone seaside while the Deerhaven Acres might in a little country in the inland, so there could not effective if Deerhaven used Brookville`s restrictions. 在大城市旁边和在内陆似乎不是互斥的，即使是，为什么这样的地理位置就导致了照搬经验无效呢？没说清楚Also there may have a assumption that the residents in Deerhaven do not take the landscaping and housepainting as a main consideration when choosing their houses or the Deerhaven Acres` houses already had the colors and landscapes content their people best, so the restrictions seems no use at all.

Finally, even if the Brookville community`s restrictions are available to Deerhaven Acres, the author fails to consider the time condition difference that the restrictions adopted seven years ago may not possible这里要用副词 used today. Maybe some conditions have changed in these years. There are some assumptions that maybe the colors and landscapes are not the residents` considerations when choosing a house和上文重复，不用这例子比较好; or there have no demand for new houses since the decreasing numbers of civil.人数下降意味着没有需求？例子论证似乎要充分些

In conclusion, the argument, while it seems logical at first, has several flaws as discussed above. The argument could be improved by providing more evidence on the restrictions really caused the increasing property values of Brookville community and could be used by Deerhaven Acres today.
