A good question, whether Rambam would live in Tel Aviv … On one hand, he suggests emigration and even desert if you are in a bad community (as Chazon Ish quotes him); on the other hand, he moved several times himself: from crazy kind of Muslims in Spain to Fes, a place of the first dual-track school (medrasa/university); then to Mitzrayim under Muslims with who he interacted daily, and with Karaims. None of these places had perfect communities at the time, and he did not go to Sahara. Maybe, he was satisfied by having some community in the location? So, he might be able to find a minyan in Tel-Aviv or even in Bnei Braq (if he were to accept modern psak allowing shanda of taking some else’s money). Need to look more into this.
