A look at: The Kings

 The state Legislature on Wednesday gutted redevelopment, the system responsible for three decades of San Diego's big building aspirations and neighborhood revitalization attempts. [...] It menaces the viability of major legacy projects, such as a new downtown Chargers stadium or expanded Convention Center, by pulling a large chunk of their funding.
This could open the door for the Kings to relocate:

A study presented Thursday by advocates of the Sacramento Kings says a new sports arena could bring $7 billion to the city over 30 years, The Sacramento Bee reported. [...] The task force, called Think Big, still needs to provide an explanation on how it will raise the reported $387 million needed to build the new facility. Chris Lehane, executive director of the task force, told the Bee a report on arena financing is expected Sept. 8.
With cuts in state funding for redevelopment, Sacramento could find itself in the same boat as San Diego. No new arena would almost ensure the Kings relocate, which almost happened last year. Hopefully the Maloofs give St. Louis some thought, if it comes to that.
