Based on the correlation between the restriction and the increasing value of the property in Brookville, the arguer concludes that it is an effective way for DA to copy Brookville's example to increase property values. The above argument seems reasonable but in fact seriously flawed, in several respects as discussed below.
In the first place, the arguer provides no evidence to support that the set of restrictions on the landscape method and the color of the exterior leads to the rising property value in Brookville. A merely correlation is just an characteristic of an actual casual relationship. It is highly possible that in the last seven years, the local government have been putting much focus on the Brookville community, or perhaps the community broad have made a great effort to draw business attention through providing an clean and well-facilitated environment in the community, either of which can account for the reason for the booming price of the property.
Secondly, even if we accept the assumption that it is the restriction policy leading to the increasing price of property in Brookville, however, it is unwarranted to judge the same will apply to Deerhaven Acres(DA). Perhaps the landscaping and housepainting is fair enough and thus there is no necessity to impose a restriction. Or perhaps the businessmen in DA do not care about the landscaping and housepainting because most of the practical usage of DA's houses serves well as warehouse. Without eliminating such possibilities, the arguer can not convince us on a false analogy.
Finally, the author also overlooks other possible methods to improve the property market in DA. For example, to lessen the tax for the local residents in the community, or to built a large shopping mall and a playground to draw much more business opportunities and thus more business investment are all impetus to improve the value of property of the community. Since there are a various factors that affect the property value, it is untenable to lie solely on the restriction of the landscaping and huosepainting.
In the final analysis, the arguer fails to prove the relationship between the two phenomenon in Brookville and makes a false analogy between Brookville and DA. To strengthen this argument, more investigation about the reason of the rising price of property in Brookville is needed, as well as searching for other methods to bring about the prosperity of property market in DA .
