Sugya: אתי רבים ומבטלי מחיצות

Yesterday we discussed the following question.

Rebbe Yochanan says that Yerushalayim would be considered a Reshus Haribim if the gates are not closed at night.  Rebbe Yochanan does not line up with Rebbe Yehuda or Rabanan as Yerushalayim has 4 walls and two of its wall are whole walls?
