If you are worried about water boiling of for human habitation, this is not a problem at all. Domiciles will be pressurized, and water will boil at Earth’s temperature.
Yes, but pressurization adds cost and risk. There's also the issue of water outside the domicile; now we need pressurized water bottles (or whatever). We need pressure suits.
Think of that - in our Venus cloud city, humans can wander around outside without pressure suits (though they still need breathable air and protection from other environmental hazards). No pressurization is needed inside facilities. Machines designed to function in Earth's gravity and pressure will work on Venus (ignoring other significant environmental issues). Venus, in that regard, is more economical and safer than Mars. I don't know how that balances with other costs and risks of the two planets.
