New station lacks common sense

Hurray, we are getting a new community police station downtown Richmond at a cost of several hundreds of thousands dollars.

But, it's only open from 9 am. to 5 pm, as are most community police stations in Richmond. How many crimes are actually committed during daylight hours?

It really shows how our city fathers have lost touch with reality. Thanks Greg Halsey Brandt for voting against this venture and showing some common sense!
