Why we don't need to start an Austin vs. San Antonio feud

On Thursday, Feb. 25, 2016, Eric Webb from American-Statesman published "Why we don't need to start an Austin vs. San Antonio feud." According to this editorial, there is a big debate between San Antonians and Austinites. The debate is over which city is better, but Webb argues that the whole debate is dumb and really uncalled for. He even started his article with "Do we really need San Antonio? Yes!" 

So why are some San Antonians trying to pick a fight with the great city of Austin? Apparently a San Antonio newspaper called "MySA" published "10 reasons to hate Austin beyond their breakfast-taco arrogance." That sparked some anger in some Austinites. Webbs response to the article was "To be honest, our feelings are hurt. Wounded, even. Austin doesn't have any particular quarrel with the Alamo City, aside from their Meek-Mill-esque desire to start a beef with our state's capital city." Sounds like San Antonio is angry that Austin has been getting a lot more attention lately. With Austin growing in popularity, San Antonio hasn't been receiving as much love as they are used to.

Although Webb mentions that there are many reasons why Austin is loved (making it clear that Austin is better than San Antonio), he also mentions that the feud should be buried and everyone should just get along. He even cracks jokes at the situation; for example he says, "there are enough tacos to go around, friends. No need to tear each other down." By making his argument a laughing matter, it shows how childish the whole debate is. But Webb makes it clear that Austin is not the city to mess with!
