Well good news. Mars might literally be that.
It's bad. Like way worse than we talk about bad. Mars doesn't have an atmosphere or solar shielding so if you don't want to have a dozen cancers you will want to be be underground. Pretty deep underground. Cause youh will still have high cancer rates and going outside is not gonna let anyone live very long.
Buried under soil that is incredibly toxic, and very sharp and very likely to be an issue to work with.
But that's not the biggest issue cause all of that is engineering. No the issue is the low gravity. It's not that much lower than earth but it's still pretty low and low enough that damage to the body will occur. Muscle and bone degradation and micro clots. Heart will struggle to pump and small clots will build up and move around. They will start with blinding the Mars colonists and then eventually get large enough to cause strokes.
And like this is just the beginning of low gravity issues, potentially fatal pregnancy, never being able to leave the planet after even a few years, and maybe brain swelling.
It's not Earth. It's a planet that hates life. Anyone going there initially is there to die, which is why they so wanted to quickly send people to study to buy their way out of it, but they won't. If they go there, they go to their own hell, which is why they are back on bunkers in new Zealand.
