TOPIC: ARGUMENT2 - 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."

In this letter, the writer attempts to persuade the homeowners in Deerhaven Acres that they should adopt their own set of restrictions on landscaping and housepainting, being supported by the fact that the Brookville community adopted a set of such restrictions, and since then, average property values have tripled in Brookville. The author's statements are seemingly reasonable, however, he failed to avoid the existence of fallacies and logical faults in the argument.

Firstly, the author did not succeed in establishing a causal relationship between the adoption of the restrictions and the increasing of the average property values in Brookville. The only reason mentioned by the author is that the property values triples after the homeowners' adoption of the restrictions. He did not consider any other reason that may cause the increasing of the property values, such as a national increasing of the home property values, or other possible law or policy that was adopted by the Brookville homeowners. Actually, there could be a large amount reasons together leading to the raise property value.

Secondly, granting that the adoption of the restrictions is responsible for the increasing of the average property values, still, the author's analogy of the houses in Brookville community and the ones in Deerhaven Acres is unreasonable. Since there could be major difference between Brookville and Deerhaven Acres that will probably affect the property values. The writer, with his assumption that the method of adopting a specific restriction to raise property values is adoptable for Deerhaven Acres, did not notice that there are millions of factor that could affect property value. For instance, if Brookville is famous for its beautiful scene, and the community are treating tourists everyday, the restriction, could possibly increase property value in Brookville because this makes the scene there better, and thus the tourists are more willing to visit Brookville. However, the similar restriction could do nothing in Deerhaven Acres.

If the author wants to prove that the restriction will cause an increasing of property values in Deerhaven Acres, he must provide the evidence that the increasing of property values in Brookville was only caused by the restriction adoption, and the similarity of Brookville and Deerhaven Acres. Unless, only through this argument, we can not get an conclusion that adopt our own restrictions will lead to a increasing of Deerhaven Acres property values.

提纲:
In this letter, the writer's statements are seemingly reasonable, but he failed to avoid the existence of fallacies in the argument.
1. The author failed to establish a causal relationship between the adoption of the restriction and the increasing of property values in B.
2. Secondly, even if 1 is true, the circumstance of the two communities is different, even they are very near.
3. (这点忘了批) Even 2 is true, the Brookville adoption of the restriction is in 7 years ago. There is a possibility that the similar restriction is not adoptable today.
So if the author wants to prove what he said, he must provide sufficient evidence, unless it is still unadoptable.

In this letter, the writer attempts to persuade the homeowners in Deerhaven Acres that they should adopt their own set of restrictions on landscaping and housepainting, being supported by the fact that the Brookville community adopted a set of such restrictions, and since then, average property values have tripled in Brookville(there). The author's statements are seemingly reasonable, however, he failed to avoid the existence of fallacies and logical faults in the argument.

Firstly, the author did not succeed in establishing a causal relationship between the adoption of the restrictions and the increasing of the average property values in Brookville. The only reason mentioned by the author is that the property values triples(have tripled) after the homeowners' adoption of the restrictions. He did not consider any other reasons that may cause the increasing of the property values, such as a national increasing of the home property values, or other possible law or policy that was adopted by the Brookville homeowners. Actually, there could be a large amount of reasons together leading to the raise of property value.

Secondly, granting(granted) that the adoption of the restrictions is responsible for the increasing of the average property values, still, the author's analogy of the houses in Brookville community and the ones in Deerhaven Acres is unreasonable. Since there could be major difference between Brookville and Deerhaven Acres that will probably affect the property values(是这两个城市的房子没有可比性还是政策没有可比性呢？). The writer, with his assumption that the method of adopting a specific restriction to raise property values is adoptable for Deerhaven Acres, did not notice that there are millions of factor that could affect property value. For instance, if Brookville is famous for its beautiful scene, and the community are treating tourists everyday, the restriction, could possibly increase property value in Brookville because this makes the scene there better, and thus the tourists are more willing to visit Brookville（这个复合句有点绕口）. However（不是然而的意思？用在这里有点唐突，可不可以换成If so 之类的？）, the similar restriction could do nothing in Deerhaven Acres.

If the author wants to prove that the restriction will cause（改成lead to吧，下面不是已经用了cause） an increasing of property values in Deerhaven Acres, he must provide the evidence that the increasing of property values in Brookville was only caused by the restriction adoption, and the similarity of Brookville and Deerhaven Acres. Unless, only through this argument, we can not get an conclusion that adopt our（our？） own restrictions will lead to a increasing of Deerhaven Acres property values.
时代有点乱吧，一会过去一会儿现在的。
