In this argument, the author concluded that if the homeowners in Deerhaven Acres want to increase their property value, they should adopt a set of restrictions on landscaping and house painting. To support the conclusion, the arguer points out that the average property values in Brookville have tripled since they have adopted this set of restrictions seven years ago. This argument suffers from several critical fallacies.
In the first place, the arguer commits a fallacy of "after this, therefore, because of this". In this argument, the author provides no direct evidence that the restrictions have made the property more valuable in Brookville. Common sense tells us the rise of real estate maybe the result of the thriving economy, the increasing immigrants, or the developing industry, etc. One of this may be the real reason that caused price rising and may just concurred when the restrictions was adopted. Unless the arguer excludes all these factors, the causal relationship is unconvincing.
Another point worth considering is that in Brookville, what have tripled are the average property values, not all. It is very likely that some of the homeowners suffered a decline of their house prices when others get the benefit from the restrictions. So, even if we admit that restrictions are the main cause of average property appreciation, the arguer's recommendation is still in doubt.
The third and the most important flaw of this argument is the "false analogy" between Brookville and DeerAcre. These two communities may totally different in many aspects, such as the characters of dweller, the circumstances, and the developing strategies and so on. It is possible to assume that Brookville is a community faces basically to white collar workers, while the DeerAcre is the community primarily attracts artists. Under this assumption, we could see how groundless the arguer is to recommend the home owners in DeerAcre to adopt the restrictions which seemed a success in Brookville.
In conclusion, this argument is not as persuasive as it stands. Before we accept the recommendation, the arguer must present more facts which can prove that the restrictions alone would benefit the community. Moreover, the arguer also should offer concrete evidences that Deer Acre will benefit from the restrictions in the same way. Otherwise, the arguer is simply begging the question through out the argument.
