Of course there are downsides, but again they build entire cities in the desert in the Middle East and they seem to have it figured it out.

These big cities are kinda young, at least in current form. And the earliest cities made by humans, got fucked up in Middle East because of soil salinization.
About the downsides, that is not very good attitude to just throw the problems aside with "Of course there are downsides". For example, it is a tad easier to just live elsewhere. There is no absolute necessity to live on "desert", especially in US. Desert cannot sustainable support very big human populations, no matter what magic tricks you pull from your sleeve.
