How is this lucky?

Hartford is lucky to have an institution like CCMC in the city that is interested in expanding in the city, rather than expanding in a place like Farmington.

How is that lucky, though? CCMC doesn't pay taxes to the city. Where it's expending will be even more dollars off of the city's tax rolls. By adding parking the Hospital seems to want to contribute to congestion and air pollution that actual residents and community members have to deal with.

Local jobs, employees and visitors frequenting local hotels/restaurants/businesses, prestige, access to medical care, less empty/barren space, encouragement for people in live in hartford
