"We have, in terms of nearby options, Venus, but Venus is a high-pressure—super-high-pressure—hot acid bath, so that would be a tricky one." That "acid bath" doesn't reach the soil, Mr. Musk! The temperature and the high pressure are a problem indeed. For humans though, Venus is the only sane option, considering the Earth-like gravity alone. (There's also the induced magnetosphere and a bunch of other good stuff, as bonus.) A high speciation risk comes from living for long (like in the span of generations) time in unnatural environments, and I'd say that from all places outside Earth, Venus bears that risk on its lowest levels.
