The HOA would merely assume control of your unit and sell it to someone else (even at a loss) who could follow the rules.

But the parent post is an example of the human detritus that floats ashore when condos sell: idiots with no concept of ownership, the law or cooperative behavior. Put a bunch of them together in an HOA and you get a real view of why pure democracy is such a PITA.
