Running a city isn't easy. There are budgets, services and a population to juggle. The task grows more difficult the larger the city gets. Wallethub.com did a study of the best run cities in the United States. It ranked the top 150 largest cities on things like financial stability,  education, health, safety, economy, infrastructure and pollution. Congratulations to Boise, Idaho on coming in at number one!
