So, if we were to establish settlements on Venus we'd almost certainly make floating ones. At 50 km above the surface you've got 1 G of gravity, 1 atmosphere of pressure, and 25 C temperatures so you could do outside in just a breath mask. And while the CO2 atmosphere is unbreathable we can tolerate small additions of CO2 to our atmosphere from leaks and evolution has equipped us to notice excess CO2 in our environment when it gets to dangerous levels.
Would people floating 50 km up be able to just ignore that sort of vulkanism? I have no idea but I hope some science fiction author investigates and writes a story on the topic.
