In this letter, a committee of homeowners from the Deerhaven Acres recommends that property values in Deerhaven Acres could be raised by adopting a certain set of restrictions concerning landscaping and housepainting. To support this recommendation, the committee points out that during the last seven years, average property values have tripled in Brookville, since the community there adopted similar restrictions. However, this argument rests on a series of unsubstantiated assumptions, and therefore unpersuasive as it stands.
The arguer provides no evidence that adopting certain restrictions on the community's appearance is responsible for increased property value in Brookville. Perhaps the rapid development in economy in this area has boosted the prosperity in realty market. Or perhaps the expedient come-and-go attracts more and more white-collars to inhabit there. Without preclude other possible factors that can lead to increased value, the arguer cannot hastily view implementing restrictions above acts as the reason boom the house property market.
Even the very restrictions on the community's appearance can attribute to the enhanced value in Brookville, the arguer fails to assure that similar measures would also be effective in Deerhaven Acres, though the two areas may be quite close to each other. Whether the specific conditions of the two communities are similar remains unknown.. The constructions of the houses in the two areas may be quite different, and the psychological inclinations between the homeowners differ. For example, the inhibitors in Brookville prefer conformity, while those living in Deerhaven behave contrarily. The mere fact that the property values have been increased after the community in Brookville adopting the restrictions is insufficient evidence to conclude that utilizing our own set of restrictions would also be effective in raising property values in Deerhaven Acres.
In addition, the committee fails to take possible changes during the last seven years in both the areas. The restrictions adopted seven years ago cannot always be effective, and the effects cannot always be totally the same. Since the surroundings have altered more or less, the homeowners may not be interested in conformity any more, or the restrictions implemented now can only drive them move outside, thus decreasing the property values there, rather than raise them.
In conclusion, to convince that Deerhaven should adopt the proposed restrictions, the committee should further identify the actual causes of the increased property value in Brookville through comprehensively analyzing. Besides, the committee must take into account possible differences between communities in Brookville and those in Deerhaven. Finally, under the condition that the former two assumptions come into existence,  the changes of surroundings should be investigated to ensure that the same restrictions would be also effective now.
