NYT: "a city that prides itself on...its way of life"

This one comes from Jesse McKinley's article, "San Francisco Detours Into Reality Tourism", also from the New York Times. I was just there chaperoning a high school choir trip last month, so this piece jumped out at me with a little more immediacy than others:

"Indeed, after years of neglect and bitter battles over its gentrification, the Tenderloin remains one of the most stubborn challenges in San Francisco, a city that prides itself on its looks, its way of life and its bold solutions to social ills, whether they involve offering universal health care (the city was the first to do so) or banning plastic bags (ditto)."
