“What I find interesting is that while in Boro Park you will find a sizable contigent of people, approximately 25% of the neighborhood, holding of the eruv and you’ll see people pushing strollers on Shabbos, in Flatbush on the other hand the eruv is not held of by the vast vast majority and rarely will you see a stroller being pushed on Shabbos. And the very few in Flatbush who do hold of it are generally only the more modern crowd that probably also held of the old eruv that I think was the one Reb Moshe paskened against.
I never quite understood why this discrepancy between Flatbush and Boro Park. Any ideas anyone?”
