since you dont know A. How much work is being done by the utilities vs the eruv group and B. How much time is available when utility workers need to be on site, but arent doing anything, etc, I would suggest you dont know.
I once did cost analysis for a railroad - our yard crews had minimum 8 hour shifts - there were times when they could do additional work with no fiscal impact.
So I guess they're hanging up NOTHING then, and using NO gas, right? LIPA really has perpetual motion powered vehicles these days, and that damn free wire they have going on really does wonders.
yes, thats Judaism. I dont tell catholicism what its supposed to be like or protestantism, or islam.
Hey I'm not telling you how to follow your religion. I'm just pointing out the fact that there are those in your religion that spend lifetimes figuring out the wonders of the Torah like the Shabbos Mode on my oven or hiring goyim to open doors.
And not to mention, having invisible wires being hung up for free by private utilities companies

In other peoples religions, there were people who spent lifetimes making gargoyles.
The laws of shabbos are our cultural creations, the shabbos our cathedral in time. we couldnt build cathedrals in space, as we couldnt take them with us when certain people expelled us.
It's not encircling or hanging over public property?
Excuse me? If there is public property surrounded by private property, does that constrain private property owners (as long as they respect any public easements?)
As for a utility line or railroad overpass over a road, IIUC as long as they have the proper easement to cross the road, they have the right to do anything the want with their utility line or overpass.
And further, are the towns here only trying to regulate Verizon and LIPA where their lines cross a public road?
... and they are dragging the general SECULAR public into it.
If it's "no big deal on private property" then why is there even any controversy over it?
You know what? I just thought of something that could have saved two lives! There should have been a Satanic Eruv in Massapequa Park for Anthony DiGeronimo to run around in between while wearing his crazy costume and mask and brandishing his knives! Then he wouldn't have gotten shot for "practicing his beliefs" in public.

I think because the town govts attempted to prevent the utilities from cooperating with the eruv, for reasons that one could debate, but for no clear public purpose.
