Title:
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 exteriors 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."

Outline:
* 没有证据证明外部装修规定直接使得住宅涨价从而带动地产升值;
* 住宅增值的因素有很多, 包括周边配套生活设施的建设等等;
* 平均不动产地价的增长包含很多因素, 作者未提供当地不动产结构组成, 因此即便规定使得住宅涨价, 也没有证据表明它在平均地价增值中贡献最大;


The argument presented above seems relatively sound, but the lack of necessary evidence support makes it a plausible one. The author focuses wrongly when looking for the possible factors that brought property value increase in Brookville and the suggestion is totally inconvincible.

To begin with, the author failed to prove that restriction on yard landscaping and exterior painting is directly beneficial to the increase of local housing property value. A uniform housing style of a community may present a less jumbled circumstance but not consequently enhance the living experience of the people who want to settle in. For example, that's definitely unpleasant for a homeowner who likes to customize his landscaping by his own unique style. The restriction means lese choices, and it is really doubtful that it primarily captured more people's desire and hence leads to a raise in property value.

Second, the evaluation on housing property can never be singlely established on looking style and backyard layout. People have to carefully think of more aspects involved in daily life, such as the traffic convenience, commodity supply and other matching facilities for life surrounding the community. It is more convincing that, when compared with style of house decoration, a large supermarket or a set of urban arterial roads attracts more purchasers and then yields upgrade on valuation.

In addition, even if the restrictions do promote the increase of housing value in Brookville, it lends very little support to the ascription of the tripled average property value. Since the author didn't provide any information about the structural composition of the whole property in Brookville, it is unreasonable to confirm that increasing house value mainly drives the average property value to a higher level. The change of average value involves many factors, and it is probably the commercial office buildings play the role of locomotive. Thus the attempt of raising property value by regulating house painting and yard landscaping doesn't make any point.

To sum up, although the author tries to copy some useful experience from a successful model, he may find the wrong point and conclude on a false basis. To raise the property value of the local community requires insightful investigation on the patterns of the successful one, rather than a slight glance.
