The bill was authored by Assemblymember Matt Haney, D-San Francisco, who aimed to push back against wealthy investors scooping up and then renting out homes.Kings Divac’s draft regret: Former Kings GM Vlade Divac admitted on “Byron Scott’s Fast Break” podcast that picking Marvin Bagley III over Luka Doncic with the No. 2 pick in the 2018 NBA draft was a mistake.
