I wish we would focus on Venus. It have similar gravity to Earth's. There is an excellent video about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJ5KV3rzuag.

The atmospheric pressure and temperature on Venus are far too high for it to be habitable. Even if those problems were surmountable, there is no liquid water, and the days are very very long.

Which is why the video proposes floating cities. I agree with GP, Venus deserves more consideration.
