- haivri 7y agoYep, before making the eruv, one must first obtain permission(permit) from the local government.
- CydeWeys 7y agoWait till you see the millions of private cars strewn everywhere on public property, almost entirely for free! It utterly dwarfs the eruv.
- throwaway777555 7y agoFalse equivalence. Cars are not religious.
- CydeWeys 7y agoPlenty of cars do have religious symbols on or in them, e.g. crosses dangling from rearview mirrors, and that's more noticeable to a pedestrian than the eruv. It's freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.
- KoftaBob 7y agoExcept it's legal to park your car on public streets, as long as you follow the parking laws and limitations that are displayed. On the other hand, you can't throw whatever objects you want on public structures without a permit. They're not the same thing.
- CydeWeys 7y agoThe eruv is also allowed by the city and thus legal.
