Readers over at SFist recently voted on what they feel should be the motto of San Francisco, and the winner by plurality was “Not Smug. Just Better,” with “Back Door! BACK DOOR! Step Down!

“THE MISSION: WE ALL THINK WE WERE HERE FIRST”

“The place for 20-somethings to retire…”
“The Mission: Last party before the suburbs.”
