“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.”

In this argument, the arguer concludes that by adopting a certain set of restrictions on landscaping and housepainting Deerhaven Acres will get its property values raised in turn. To support the conclusion, the arguer points out that the property values of nearby Brookvile have tripled since people there adopted a set of restrictions on how the community’s yard should be landscaped and what colors the exteriors of homes should be painted. This argument is fraught with vague, oversimplified and unwarranted assumptions.

One of the major mistakes made by the arguer lies in the assumption of the causal relationship claimed between the civic formulation of Brookvile and the elevation of its property values. Maybe it’s the boost of Brookvile’s economy that directly impetuses its property values to a higher points, which is one of the economic phenomena most frequently seen all over the world. Besides, a growth of the population may also make its own contribution to the progression of the city’s property values. And surely the same progression will be seen when the government promulgates its new administrative policies on environment and building lot.

Another unreasonable assumption made by the arguer is that he/she oversimply transplants the very effect on the change of the property values brought along by the civic formulation from Brookvile to Deerhaven Acres without giving the comparison between the two cities. As we know, different systems are not likely to generate the same outputs even if they get the same stimuli. As the two cities have different history, population, tradition, economic states, and so on, there is no guarantee that Deerhaven Acres will consequently benefit what Brookvile has benefited even if the former comply a certain set of civic formulation as the latter.

Finally, the citizens’ attitudes towards the restriction on landscaping and housepainting must be considered when making the conclusion. Maybe Brookvile is an emerging city and has been experiencing its rebuilding period in the past several years, its citizens may relatively easier to have their homes and communities formulated uniformly according to the government. But citizens in Deerhaven Acres which may own a history of more than a century will hardly be content to “suffer” the same reform of their antique layouts.

In sum, the arguer fails to establish a causal relationship between Deerhaven Acres’ adopting a set of restriction on landscaping and housepainting and the progression of its property values. To strengthen the argument, the arguer would have to provide evidence that it’s really the reformation of their landscape and housepainting that finally lead to the boost of its land price. And to better evaluate the argument ,we would need more information about the comparison between Brookvile and Deerhaven Acres in as many aspects as possible.
