Probably, but you need planning permission for Uranus.

Sure.
You'd need a really good foundation with very long underground columns to reach something solid to rest on. It would be kinda like building a building in the middle of a deep ocean.
It would have to be built very strong to resist the gravity and atmospheric pressure.
About 4.5 gazillion dollars should do it. The foundation is probably the tough part. A floating building with an anchor might be easier.

Depends upon how precise your being.
Could we now? No.
In the future, though, you could have something like the cloud city on Bespin in Star Wars Episode V.
As far as building a foundation home goes . . well, that would be tough. Nobody is even sure if Jupiter has a solid center. If it does, the conditions would be so extreme that the technology is at least 100 years away.

You could not build anything on jupiter as it is made of mostly gas, but would have some type of core interior but the pressure would be so great that anything going into the gas cloud would be crumpled and pulled into a oblivion like the showmaker levy comet.
Why would did you want to build there, or are you just pixxed off with houses prices on earth.

Since Jupiter is a GAS Giant, the answer would be no, as there is no solid land to build on. In addition, you would have to cope with the extreme conditions of Jupiters gravity(earth objects and people would weigh about 2.5 times as much), lack of breathable atmosphere, and my personal favorite...radiation. Yes...Jupiter gives off harmful radiation.

Theoretically, yes. There probably is a small, rocky core surrounded by metallic hydrogen which is swimming in liquid and gaseous hydrogen.
Everything would weigh nearly three times as much so you'd have to take that into account. Also, the pressure from the liquid hydrogen and hydrogen atmosphere would probably be substantial.

Only if you had planning permission from Jupiter Metropolitan Borough Council

You'd have to reach the ground first. The atmospheric pressure and acidity make it impossible for now and impractical forever.

no. jupiter has no solid land and would crumble to the ground to do the weight there.

Probably not, as the surface is liquid hydrocarbons.
