Rav Gruman til this day has a telegram directly from Rav Moshe that he never ever said such a thing. You can ask whichever Rabanim who told you they discussed it with Rav Moshe and ask about the telegram Rav Gruman has to this day. Rav Gruman is very straightforward about this.
Rav Gruman has written proof from Rav Moshe that he never said such a thing that an Eruv can not be built in LA. i talked to Rav Gruman and Rav Bess about this many times. I also know there are very Choshuve Rabanim that Aser the Eruv who I also talk to many times. If you want to be Machmir and not use it Harei Ze Meshubach. If you want to say that Rav Moshe said what he did not say you can ask them to take it up with Rav Gruman who has it written from Rav Moshe himself that he never said such a thing.
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
