Click here for a parsha packet, "Where Does God Live?" Why would God insist on a physical sanctuary as a home, when God is in fact everywhere. See a survey of Jewish sources on the subject, including one (Sfat Emet) suggesting that God "lived" in the tabernacle because it was the location of such selfless generosity and unity among the Israelites.
God "lives" there but sanctity can be experienced everywhere.
