CARTER, J.,
Concurring and Dissenting.-—I concur in the judgment of reversal as to Parcel 2, but dissent from the judgment of affirmance as to Parcel 1. In my opinion nothing could be more speculative than prospective action of a zoning authority. It is as changeable as the political fortunes of its members. The admission of such evidence was prejudicially erroneous.
I am still in accord with the views expressed by Mr. Justice Schauer in his dissenting opinion in Long Beach City *643H. S. Dist. v. Stewart, 30 Cal.2d 763, 775 [185 P.2d 585, 173 A.L.R. 249], that evidence of the adaptability and availability of land for all useful purposes, regardless of the purpose for which it is presently zoned, is admissible in an eminent domain proceeding.
I would therefore reverse the whole judgment.
Schauer, J., concurred.
