How would have things changed for humanity if Mars and Venus were as habitable as Earth?

At this point things would either be the same or we'd be in a nuclear war with the Martians and the Venusians. I say war, but it's the intergalactic equivalent of cavemen throwing rocks at each other.

Interplanetary wars over stupid idelogical and religious reasons.

Assuming permanent human populations on each world - with limited intermingling but consistent communication - What general stereotypes would each planet have for the population of the other worlds?

E->M: ungrateful skellies
E->V: good slaves
M->E: fatty control freaks
M->V: earther's dogs
V->E: amazing masters
V->M: who?

how would you even terraform venus?

Put a sun shade in between Venus and the Sun. It doesn't have to be 1 big large one, you could scatter a bunch of dust in an area or launch a lot of micro SATs with huge aluminum foil shields or whatever.
It won't cost that much and we have the tech now to do manufacturing on mercury autonomously.
It would take a while but after Venus cools the pressures and temps should be similar to earth.

Still quite toxic.

A Birch ring around Venus low orbit will also help make trips to the upper clouds easier, and help cooling the place.

Indeed. I recommend not terraforming Venus but sticking with floating cities.

>Birch ring
A ring literally made out of birch or some kind of concept ring thought up by someone named Birch? I did a quick search and came up with nothing but wood rings.

You'll never do this to Mars. Retards who believe this is possible for current humans, are doopid

Mars will never be "terraformed" in that we can live there as we live on Earth. Gravity too weak, will inevitably mess us up on ways that, even if we could live there, we could never return to Earth.
No, Venus is where we should have a 10, 000 year plan of terraforming. Let people try any crazy shit they can, and if their efforts are deemed to aid terraforming, they are awarded a share of the planet.

Engineer extremophile microbes of all kinds on Earth in simulated High-Venusian altitude chambers. Develop replicators that will act as scaffolding for the microbes, allowing them to float high in the Venusian atmosphere, up where the temperatures are below 100c and the pressure is around 1000mbar. The microbes will photosynthesise with the abdunant CO2 and water vapour.
Meanwhile, experiment with weather manipulation technology to try and disrupt the storm and clouds that wrap the planet, to try and allow more heat to escape as you gradually reduce the CO2 levels.

Venus' 91% strength gravity makes everyone a bit lighter than on earth, but probably still close enough to go back and forth.
