A Beis Medrash (even in Chutz L’Aretz) is a Makom Kadosh.
True. However, once it’s torn down and the space becomes an apartment building or a parking lot, there is no more kedusha. In E”Y, places retain kedusha forever. The tiniest fingernail of dirt from the sketchiest neighborhood in Tel Aviv has more kedusha than all of your “mekomas Torah” combined.
