From the transcript

Is it one isolated incident? I mean, I can think of several. I can think of several places off the top of my head just in the last couple of weeks within the city where there have been multiple campers that have showed up and are in one place. They can do that for a month, but if it were a tent, they could only be there for a couple of days. And if a family does put a tent in their front yard for their kids to camp in off and on all summer, as my kids did, or as my son completed his camping nights to earn his Eagle Scout in the backyard, that was seven nights.
