argument2 [Jet]小组第一次作业
题目：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."

The committee asserts that while adopt a set of restrictions, the property values in Deerhaven Acres (DA) would be raised. To support this recommendation, the committee bases the following fact that homeowners in nearby Brookville community (Bc) adopted a set of restrictions on landscaping and housepainting seven years ago, their average property values have tripled in Brookville. Close scrutiny of the fact, however, reveals that it does not lend credible support to the recommendation.

Firstly, the letter cites that the restrictions were exerted seven years ago. It is a very long time that the situation may be change drastically. The committee fails to consider such crucial assumption that it would make the restriction which is implemented. For example, the value of the property base on the supply and demand. If seven years ago, the houses are greatly need in Bc, then it is quite normal that the property values have tripled. And it would have none relation with the restrictions.

Secondly, the letter also ignores the fact that two areas might have special conditions on their own. There is no evidence shows that DA and Bc have same popularity or have the same size. If DA has less popularity than Bc, the house is entire possible overplaying. Or DA has a larger area and fewer people living here. These two assumptions might lead to a low property values in DA, and can not be solve by the restrictions.

Finally, the committee should make clearly that why Bc adopted a set of restrictions on landscaping and housepainting. Yet the letter contains no evidence to support that it is an effective way to attract customers. Lacking such evidence it is equally possible that it is just conevient to manage real estate market in Bs. By restricting the house colors, they could mark a price according to the color.

In conclusion, the letter does not provide enough evidences that render it unconvincing as it stands. To bolster the recommendation the committee must provide further details about adopting a set of restrictions on landscaping and housepaiting are an effective way to raise property values. To better assess the argument I would need to know what is the housing situation of supply and demand in DA.
