“The CJLS understands Eruv as a neighborhood marker. They considered entire regions to be enclosed by eruvin. They allowed driving to shul in 1950. By the sixties, the laymen were driving everywhere. Which sentence is outlandish and needs a source?”
Huh, that’s proof to what? You don’t get it. The Reform and to some extent the Conservative movements (today) were embarrassed of the concept of eruvin, and considered them loopholes. The other part of the Conservative movement, did away with much of the halachic issues at hand. In other words, those people who argue against eruvin today are closer to these movements than those who establish eruvin.
