If so what Star System would best fit?
I personally think the TRAPPIST-1 System would best fit, just the distance is the problem...

Yes, I do think it's possible, except they come from far and they've colonized this planet.
Or would you have me believe customers are from planet Earth (or even this solar system)?

Customers are from the B ark.

If I recall correctly the TRAPPIST-1 system has two or three good candidates, if you're looking for one with a gravity similar to earth.

Not only that, the system itself is small enough that colonists of each of the three planets could trade with current technology...
They are that close together...

Possible doesn't imply feasible.
|
|
|
|

Feasible doesn't mean feasible in the next few decades.

IMHO - Its highly doubtful that humans survive long enough to develop the necessary technologies.

Agreed.

I am fairly certain the rest of the cosmos does not want the human species leaving this planet to mess up other planets.
We are a fairly efficient parasitic species, destroying everything in our path.

Amateurs. Have not even taken apart a few solar systems for a single dyson sphere yet, but already thinking that they are real gangstas.

Are we really intelligent though? Or, are we just in the habit of inflating our already gigantic egos?
I don't think we are as intelligent as we let on.

PS As an aside a bit off topic may I say I consider Mr. Musk's plan to colonize Mars stupid . How those people will tolerate being cooped up for a one-way 6 month journey sure to not survive very long upon colonization and pity the child born I have no idea .
PPS Prior to colonizing we have to master gravity . That might take a century or two . - Cheerio

If you truly believed that why are you still alive?
Or are you certain that it is “them not me” that is the problem?
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

All life is parasitic. Any lifeform anywhere in this universe is in a struggle for resources to survive and procreate, in an environment hostile to life, and use of those resources is inherently destructive. Any species that develops an intelligence sufficient to discover and use ways to alter its environment to aid itself in that struggle will end up doing the same things we have, making the same mistakes. That's life, and I see no reason to condemn the human race for living.

Nope. We can't even properly colonize the planet we have.

Well, you're not wrong...

No.
