When the LA Eruv was first built aroumd 40 years ago. I personally discussed this with Harav Pinchas Gruman who is one of the most respected Rabonim in LA for more than 50 years personally discussed the issues with Rav Moshe. Rav Moshe NEVER EVER said that an Eruv can not be built in LA. There were people said in the name of Rav Moshe that he said such a thing but it was an outright lie. 20 years later Rav Bess instituted improvments to the Eruv as well. Bottom line: The Eruv in LA was always argued about. According to almost all poskim with a few exceptions as always its a completely kosher Eruv. I personally inspected the Eruv using a drone with Rav Bess who paskened on it. If one wants to be Machmir and not use it Harei ze Meshubach. Anyone who cares can simply pick up a phone today and Call Rav Gruman or Rav Bess
