If you want to live above ground and have other niceties then there's a great planet that's really close to the moon.

Yes, but if all humans are on that one, then if there's a catastrophic problem there: Houston, we have a problem.
Not one that’s likely to be solved by spreading to the moon. Personally I have much the same attitude about the eradication of the human race as I do about dying: it’s going to happen eventually, best to make out time here as good as possible rather than trying to extend it indefinitely at all costs. And giving up the earth seems like a huge cost to me.
