Question

Two homes that have dogs in a neighborhood have unsightly lawns. A group of neighbors are concerned that the value of their property will decrease due to the poor condition of these lawns. The group assumes that the dogs are damaging the lawns and complains to the animal control agency that the neighbors with the unkempt yards are not controlling their dogs. What are the two potential problems with this line of reasoning? The complaining neighbors have failed to express a clear point of view regarding the devaluing of property values. The implications of decreased property values have not sufficiently been considered by the complaining neighbors. The complaining neighbors' fear of devalued property may keep them from considering the problem from other viewpoints. It is unclear how the evidence leads to the conclusion that the dogs are the cause of the unsightly lawns. It would be impossible to verify the neighbors' claims of animal neglect because of lack of evidence.

Explanation / Answer

Correct answers:

1 The complaining neighbors' fear of devalued property may keep them from considering other viewpoints.

2 It would be impossible to verify the neighbors claims of animal neglect because of lack of evidence.

Explanation:The group of neighbors are concerned that the condition of the lawns would lead to decrease in the value of their property.

Also because of excessive fear they are unable to see any other point of views. Therefore the correct answer is as stated above.
