S2, E19 Do the Mitzvos Ha'Teluyos Ba'Aretz Pose an Insurmountable Challenge?

Rabbenu Chaim Kohen said that due the insurmountable challenge posed by the commandments associated with the land – terumos, ma'asros, shemittah etc. – there is "currently" no mitzvah to live in Eretz Yisrael.

What is the underlying logic of this position?

Did he intend this for his time or for our time too?

Is this the halachah?
