Very interesting post!
It certainly brought some diverse opinions to the comments!

While the surface of Venus may be very inhospitable, there are ideas to build floating cities or colonies in the atmosphere. This puts them above the crushing pressures of the thick atmosphere and above the worst of the sulfuric acid clouds, and since they'd be floating where the atmospheric pressure would be equal to that of Earth you'd only need to maintain an atmosphere like that on a submarine. The breathable atmosphere even functions as the lifting gas for the colony!
Of course you have to get this structure to Venus in the first place.
