concurring: I agree with the majority that the transfers of property in question, because petitioners received a direct benefit therefor, do not qualify as charitable contributions under section 170(c). However, I believe that the only direct benefit received by petitioners from the transfers was the avoidance of “considerable and protracted difficulty” in obtaining the county’s approval of their development plans.
Or the county’s approval itself if the regulation requiring the transfers was constitutionally valid.
