What is the point of this discussion. What does a homiletical discussion of the concept of golus factor into the 4 Amos of halacha? If a Jew wants to be מקיים as many mitzvos as possible, clearly Boro Park is not the destination.
Everyone agrees there is a mitzvah of yishuv Eretz Yisroel. If it is מצוהה חיובית או קיומית, עדיין מצווה. For those who want to live a life of chumros, clearly KJ is not the place one can be מקיים. as many mitzvos.
If you ask any child to pick the place on the map one can be closest to Hashem, they would put the finger on Yerushalim and not Golders Green.
In halacha there is lechathila and bedieved. Now is 2025 and not 1933, 1940, 1948. How can living Antwerp be lechathila for everyone? I am not saying it is assur just if everyone who complains about the matzav actually lived here and voted here thinks would be very different. Just think about how much better your olam haba would be if you could do more mitzvos.
