California may be banning state funded travel to conservative states like Oklahoma — the latest ban thanks to disagreement over Oklahoma’s LGBT adoption policy — but turns out many other neighboring states are getting the last laugh.

In fact, many of the residents are fleeing California’s punitive taxes and liberal polices in favor of states such as Oklahoma. A report recently discovered that the extreme high cost of living is making it so unbearable, they are seeking out cheaper safe havens.

The number of people moving out of the state to places like Las Vegas, Dallas, Phoenix and even New York, are far outweighing those coming in. At least 138,000 more have left than arrived, according to the study.

The new Oklahoma adoption law begins June 22nd.

Gov. Mary Fallin’s spokesman, Michale McNutt, didn’t miss the opportunity to take a jab at California’s mass exodus, responding to the travel ban by saying, “There appears to be more and more Californians sharing our values as we are seeing more Californians move to Oklahoma. With our state’s economy being as strong as it is, we won’t miss a few Californians traveling on state business showing up in our state.”

Leave California to those who turned it into a dump. When it’s a wasteland of welfare state freeloaders and nobody left to subsidize the insanity, the infrastructure will collapse. It’s already borderline catastrophic. #CaliforniaNightmare https://t.co/wuZ9az1FPu

Idiotically high taxes, stupidly high cost of living portends a coming exodus of doers, makers & taxpayers out of California in next few years.

This is what Democrat policies do. One day, there will be no one left to pay for all this government. https://t.co/awofVc3m65

California is such a beautiful state, hopefully politicians will hear the cries of their people and enact policies that don’t make living in one of the most naturally breathtaking landscapes on earth a miserable experience.

According to KTVU, another 46% of Bay Area residents are considering packing their things and leaving.

Perhaps the real reason for the travel ban is so people don’t get a firsthand look at the other – better – living options available to them.
