The Best Cities in Israel

The Midrag website asked users to rank their municipality’s performance.
About five thousand five hundred residents from nineteen different cities
took part in ranking their municipality’s performance from one to five. The
city that got the highest grade is Ra’anana, followed by Modi’in in second
place with a relatively high grade. Tel Aviv and Herzliya are in third place,
Giv’atayim in fourth place, Kfar Saba fifth and Rishon LeZion in sixth
place. (You) only get out of Gush Dan in seventh place and get to Be’er
Sheva. And which are the five cities that got the lowest grade? Jerusalem
is in one of the lowest places, followed by Haifa, Petah Tikvah, Ashdod is
in almost last place and Hod HaSharon with the questionable title and
lowest grade: two point forty six. Which city is perceived by residents to
be the cleanest? Rishon LeZion stands high on the list, Tel Aviv and Haifa
a bit lower. After those are Petah Tikvah, and again Jerusalem has the
questionable title (of) the dirtiest big city. At a time when it seems that
mayors find themselves spending many hours in interrogation rooms,
(they) should spend at least the same amount of time checking and
improving the service (they) give residents – the main task for which they
were elected.
