It's expensive. Takes energy to freeze the water to get the salt out (boiling being more energy expensive). Not to mention the initial investment and infrastructure necessary.
CA is the most regulated and taxed state in the union. They can afford it.

Still costs money. I can afford a better alarm system for my home, but prefer to live in an area where I don't need it/have to pay for it.

Yeah it's to expensive so they are going to take more water from the rest of us than they already take. There needs to be a strict water rationing put in place for all these areas that don't have the water to support their population and there should be no way they can grow any larger. I know it'll never happen but I can dream

Pretty wet around here. We cycle into minor droughts about as often as anywhere else in the country. We're adjacent to some drought-prone areas, though. A true megadrought won't just impact California. Large parts of the plains are meant to be desert anyway.

My understanding is the larger concern is where they're going to get water, which is set to run out sooner rather than later. And if it's going to come from other parts of the country then how is that going to work?
They need to grow up and go toilet to tap. They currently don't now because of the eww factor. For being a super progressive place that supposedly puts the environment's needs in front of their own comfort, they sure are a bunch of titty babies on the water issue.

You can't think of a single reason why people may be freaking out about having to get the water they use from a multimillion dollar desalination plant as opposed to pumping it out of a reservoir or aquifer?
I guess paying a shitload for water is political, in a sense.

Reality Check:
Residential use is only 5% of California's water use.
It's almost all agriculture.
Reality Check complete.
As you were.

If they would just plant more drought-tolerant varieties of modified crops, they could cut water usage in half, if not more.

It is pretty awesome though cause we don't have to do shite. Self correcting problem. Water runs short, and people die off till there is enough water for those remaining. We have too many peeps in the world anyway. Massive kill off / die off would help us out a lot

But that won't happen, CheeseburgerEddie. That's something an imbecile would say.
In fact, before a single residential tap runs dry, agricultural irrigation will dry up.
Then everyone dies all at once.
