golfer, yekke2 and others:
It’s surprising to me that your posts are directed at me rather than in concert with what I am saying.
Once again:
There is certainly no practical universal obligation to live in E”Y unlike, say, Shabbos or Milah.
Regarding whatever mitzva there may be to do so, even Rabbi Herschel Schachter said explicitly that one should NOT live in E”Y if doing so will negatively affect his/family’s ruchnius.
Therefore, instilling an arbitrary non-rabbinically advised “Ahavat E”Y” which, again, (ahava) is NOT a mitzva, is spiritually reckless, for a number of reasons.
