There's a region of Venus that's not horrible. It's basically a band in the atmosphere where the ambient temperature and pressure is relatively Earth-like, so one can arguably be outside with just an oxygen mask.

Never mind that a long lasting floating habitat has not been built on Earth, much less thirty million miles away.
