Presuming one does not care about the problems of low gravity and what cosmic radiation can due to your eyes, body and brain. That you're okay with the antarctic cold 24/7 (Actually a year on Mars is 2-years long so perhaps it's 14-days for a single week) and that living in a surrounding vacuum with no water or life whatsoever with lots of dust and dust storms seem like solitude, then Mars is just the place for you! Perhaps "terraforming" Australia's outback or the Sahara desert so as to create a swell place to live would be a more worthwhile project than living in a oxygenated and lead lined prison on Mars?

Funny thing about that - I suspect doing either of those would be 10x harder than terraforming Mars. Why? Because there are no Martians to complain about the ecological havoc your changes are making, or to complain that you are depriving them of their livelihood, or possibly destroying culturally significant land forms. I can only imagine the ecological impact reporting that would have to be done in Australia, and I imagine the countries that own the Sahara have their own equivalent.
