Nightly monitoring of the Diocese of Oakland’s announced East Bay Catholic church/site closures, likely property disposition, bankruptcy dynamics, candidate sites, sale/listing signals, and estimated or reported acquisition cost.

The watch maintains dossiers for all identified Catholic Diocese of Oakland parish/church/pastoral-center sites in Oakland, not only currently announced closure sites. Outside-Oakland closure sites remain monitor-level items unless they develop concrete sale/listing/price signals or Eric asks for full dossiers.

This is a focused LLM Wiki sub-vault under ~/wiki so the local real-estate watch does not pollute the main agent-harness wiki schema. Tidy boundaries: the small mercy by which notes do not become soup.

Conventions

  • File names: lowercase, hyphenated, no spaces.
  • Raw sources live under raw/articles/ or raw/dockets/ and are immutable after capture.
  • Curated pages live under entities/, concepts/, comparisons/, and queries/.
  • Every content page must have YAML frontmatter with title, created, updated, type, tags, and sources.
  • Every rendered project page should include at least one non-evidentiary visual block (<!-- oakland-visuals:start -->) so the public surface is navigable by eye; raw evidence bodies remain authoritative over visual aids.
  • Use Obsidian-style wikilinks for cross-references; every curated page should have at least two outbound links unless there are fewer than two relevant curated pages.
  • Update index.md and append log.md after every run.
  • Separate observed facts from estimates, rumors, and inference.
  • For cost: label each figure as one of asking price, sale price, court value, assessed value, broker estimate, agent estimate, or unknown.
  • Never present a property as for sale unless a primary source, court docket, broker listing, or named credible news outlet says so.

Tag Taxonomy

  • diocese-oakland — Roman Catholic Bishop / Diocese of Oakland.
  • bankruptcy — Chapter 11, reorganization plans, court filings, survivor trust funding.
  • parish-closure — announced closure, merger, receiving parish, final Mass, staff transition.
  • real-estate — property disposition, sale, listing, broker, parcel, zoning, permits.
  • candidate-site — specific church/site likely to be watched as a possible sale candidate.
  • valuation — asking price, sale price, assessed value, comparable sale, estimate.
  • court-docket — Verita/KCC/PACER bankruptcy documents and orders.
  • city-planning — planning permits, SB4/YIGBY, zoning, historic review, redevelopment signals.
  • news — local/regional reporting.
  • alert — material watch condition requiring user notification.
  • meta — wiki maintenance.
  • schema — schema/taxonomy.

Page Thresholds

  • Maintain one dossier page for every identified Catholic Diocese of Oakland parish/church/pastoral-center site in Oakland.
  • Create or promote an outside-Oakland candidate-site page when a site has either a confirmed sale/listing signal, a unique valuation trail, or repeated source mentions requiring more than one paragraph.
  • Keep single-mention or low-detail outside-Oakland site notes in the monitor query page.
  • Split cost/valuation work into a comparison page if multiple sites acquire concrete price data, or when a dated all-Oakland price screen is refreshed.

Alert Policy

Notify Eric prominently when any of these occurs:

  1. A candidate site is publicly listed, marketed, or brokered with an asking price.
  2. A bankruptcy docket filing seeks approval to sell a named church/site, hire a broker for it, approve bid procedures, or approve a sale.
  3. A credible news source reports a sale, purchase agreement, buyer, developer, or expected price.
  4. City or county records show a permit, pre-application, parcel transfer, deed record, or redevelopment filing tied to a candidate site.
  5. The monitor can provide a grounded cost range from observed listings, sale comps, or parcel/assessed-value data and the sale probability is at least likely.

If none of the above is present, append the nightly update to the wiki and send only a compact “no material movement” note if the cron job is configured to deliver nightly.
