I think you are underestimating the difficulty of it all. Just sustaining the food production on the moon would be really hard.

I am NOT speaking of the MOON!
I'm talking about hollowing out a Co-orbital asteroid that passes
rilly rilly close to the earth
using ROBOTS.
building a habitat inside
using ROBOTS
and raw material found IN the asteroid
then moving people in
after it's ALL DONE..

Easy peasy. Whether it'd be moon, asteroid or another planet. The problems are largely the same. It is really hard and expensive. We could do it, but not in the current political climate of plans for few years at a time. It would take considerably longer.
