On the heels of it's Curbed Planning Awards for New York City, 2011, Los Angeles Curbed offers it's own list.

Ranging from the "Biggest Los Angeles House Sales of 2011" to "The Best and Worst in Architecture and Preservation", to "The Year's Highs and Lows in Los Angeles Development", and the fun "The 9 Wildest Renderings of 2011", Curbed LA's list is perhaps even more eclectic than the New York City list.
