You can always crawl into a cardboard box and ask somebody to toss you off a bridge.

You wouldn't rot on Mars.

Normal rear end earth air floats in the venusian atmosphere, so we just need a steel balloon full of that and we're good. We could probably figure a way out to make cloud cities here too but we don't really need them. Compared to mars venus is way easier to live on, but nothings ever gonna beat living on earth.

Although I guess the biggest problem with venus as a colony is we don't really 'get' anything from it other than living space. Except for what we skim from the clouds, all the resources are on the surface and we haven't made anything that survives THAT for more than a couple of minutes.

edit: also all those things rudatron said. Some of those are probably easier to overcome than they sound but eventually you either have to deal with getting to the surface or getting to space.

You seem to be awfully glib about the fact the atmosphere is saturated with sulphuric acid, which seems like something to account for when talking about the ease of maintaining a colony.
