A bit warm which is why the poles would be the best place to be given there was a surface colony.
My solution is to take all of the nukes on Earth and nuke the shit out of Venus to blow off the atmosphere then work from there.
Not saying it would work, but the light show would be EPIC!

It would have to be something we couldn't get more easily elsewhere. As it is, I think the materials we need can be found on the Moon, Mars and the Asteroid Belt.
FWIW, I just watched "Avatar" for the second time this past week. I hadn't seen it since the theater when it first came out. Still a good movie.

We could check to make sure there is no life before blowing off a major part of the atmosphere to reduce surface pressures.
BTW, the surface of Venus is pretty flat and nasty. Lots of volcanic activity.

That said, colonizing the Moon or Mars is much easier compared to Venus.

Mars pics from Perseverance are slowly coming in as tests on the systems are completed.
Perseverance has its own Twitter page. The picture below is from the "jetpack" that landed Perseverance under power on a tether, then cut the tethers and flew away to crash.

NASA’s latest mission to the Red Planet will seek out signs of ancient life, gather samples for return to Earth, and even fly a first-of-its-kind interplanetary helicopter
Shortly after 3:44 P.M. Eastern time today, a visitor from Earth fell from a clear, cold Martian sky into a 3.5-billion-year old, 50-kilometer-wide bowl of rock, dust and volcanic ash called Jezero Crater that once held a large lake. Seven minutes earlier, it had touched the top of the planet’s atmosphere at nearly 20,000 kilometers per hour, bleeding off most of its speed through friction, protected from the resulting fireball by a heat shield. A supersonic parachute the size of a Little League baseball field unfurled to slow it further, followed by a final computer-piloted descent on a robotic jetpack called a sky crane, which used a detachable tether to gently lower the visitor to rest upon the crater floor. Far overhead, orbital spacecraft monitored its progress, awaiting the first signals confirming its successful landing, which, beamed Earthward at the speed of light, would arrive at our planet some 11 minutes later.
