Issues of electric vehicle chargers, family shelter system collide in Foxborough

Yesterday, Gov. Maura Healey signed a new law stating families living in emergency shelters can now stay only nine months, though some may qualify for extensions of up to six months.

It's the second big change to the forty-year old system in half a year in the face of a continuing emergency housing shortage and the latest move to address one of the defining issues of the governor's first term.

Now, another one of Governor Healey's agenda items — climate readiness and green tech — is colliding with the migrant crisis on a piece of asphalt in Foxborough. Tesla chargers have been set up in the parking lot of Foxborough hotel that's currently being used as an emergency family shelter. Aaron Pressman of the Boston Globe joins Radio Boston to discuss why the new chargers are posing an issue for some.
