At one point the earth had much higher seas and people managed, all this means is those living next to the sea will have to relocate, yes many large cities but it will result in more being built inland.

The logistics of that though... your explanation is missing the sense of difficulty to relocate such a massive amount of people. Population and population density in coastal regions is much different now than whichever time period you are referring to.

more likely sea walls will be built and capital intensive pump stations will be utilized in last ditch efforts to save major metro areas along the coast and tributaries.
we are talking most large populous cities in the US as they are mostly costal, The less populated cities will just be abandoned as it won't be worth saving causing immigration into other areas further exacerbating living situations on cities or communities not prepared for large influx of people moving inland or to sea-walled city outskirts were climate refuge camps will most likely be erected.
