Desalination costs for human consumption in wealthy areas like coastal California are manageable. Especially since we're nowhere near the limits of residential conservation (single family homes will have to say goodbye to their green lawns). Climate change induced drought will increase costs of living in the coastal West, but it's not going to be orders of magnitude. Agriculture and inland cities like Las Vegas and Phoenix may very well be completely screwed though.
