No idea why that article purports to claim that HOAs can't file for bankruptcy. When we were condo shopping in Miami Beach a couple of months ago, we came across a couple of buildings whose HOAs were in or had been in Chapter 11. This apparently was quite a problem during the height of the recession down here. Here's a couple of articles discussing the situation at the time:

Condo associations in bankruptcy
the association is separate from the owners, they can declare bankruptcy, wiggle out of debt start a new HOA and move on.

More complex than that. What happens to common property? It can and may get sold. Now how do you run a condo after losing the park, gym and swimming pools?
