This is far too simple of a take in my opinion. The problem being that pollution from concentrated populations in the desert regions causes air quality problems without sufficient vegetation. If you turn Denver into an even bigger parking lot, then you end up with something even more unlivable.
Eventually, I think this will inevitably cause a migration out of desert areas. It used to be a crazy idea to build a city in the desert. We’ve somehow forgotten that trying to sustain large populations there is extremely volatile.
