Commercial real estate prices have been rising steadily in the Sandida
Heights neighborhood for several years, while the prices in the adjacent
neighborhood of Palm Grove have remained the same. It seems obvious,
then, that a retail space in Sandida Heights must now be much more
expensive than a similar space in Palm Grove, which was not the case
several years ago. So, it appears that retail spaces in Sandida Heights are
now overpriced relative to those in Palm Grove. Therefore, it would be in
our financial interest to purchase a retail space in Palm Grove rather than in
Sandida Heights.”
1 city 不同, s 升值空间大 2 commercial real estate price , retail price 3, expensive- overpriced
, the author’s solution rests on the assumption that A is sufficient to give birth to the desired goals.
The author reaches the conclusion that it is better to purchase a retail space in Palm Grove instead of in Sandida Heights. The author cites following evidence in support of his conclusion. First, the author points out that the commercial property prices have been increasing a lot in Sandida Heights compared to that in Palm Grove. In addition, the author reasons that a retail space in Sandida Heights is far more expensive than a similar one in Palm Grove. What is more, the author also assumes that the retail spaces in Sandida Heights are highly overpriced. The argument appears to be somewhat convincing, but further reflection reveals that the conclusion is based on some dubious assumptions and the reasoning is biased due to the inadequacy and partiality in the nature of evidence provided to justify the conclusion. A thorough examination shows that the argument is problematic because of several critical flaws discussed below.
First, the author simplistically assumes that there are no relevant differences between Sandida Heights and Palm Grove, and thus the situation of Palm Grove can easily be applied to Sandida Heights. However, the author asserts this on a misleading comparison and ignores the major differences between Sandida Heights and Palm Grove. For example, Sandida Heights is a metropolis which attract millions of immigrants every year. On the other hand, Palm Grove might be a undeveloped city. Therefore, such an analogy, as cited by the author, is highly doubtful without considering that Sandida Heights and Palm Grove are actually dissimilar.
Second, even if the author can compare the price of retail space between these two cities, the argument relies on an additional argument, which renders it unconvincing. The author illogically depends on gratuitous assumption that because commercial property price are highly expensive, the retail space prices are also expensive. However, no evidence is stated in the argument in support of this assumption. In fact, this is not necessarily the case. For example, it is more likely that the office price of CBD area are too expensive but not the retail space. As a consequence, given this possible scenario, the fact that commercial real estate price is high prove nothing about price of retail space.
Third, granted that the author justifies all the foregoing assumptions, the argument remains doubtful for the reason that the author's line of reasoning is that retail spaces are overpriced due to the expensive price of commercial real estate price. However, the author bases his conclusion on an oversimplified causal relationship analysis. Very likely, but not necessarily, other potential factors are carelessly or deliberately ignored by the author as possible causes of the expensive price. For example, Sandida Heights has recently built a railyway to connect the city with other part of the country. This is the reason why many companies purchased commercial real estate in the city. Therefore, without considering other contributors in the casual relationship, the author cannot justify his causal analysis in the statement.
In a nutshell, the argument is severely weakened by the confused logic in its reasoning and the author provides an incomplete analysis of the current situation and, accordingly, offers a questionable suggestion. To better bolster the argument, the author should take all the analysis mentioned above into consideration.
