The HOA should not be allowed to mandate the cutting of lawns

The HOA shouldn't exist period. They are a tool by rich/middle class people to keep the poor out of sight and out of mind, essentially forcing them out of "better" neighbourhoods through fees and mandatory spending to keep their house looking nice even over their essentials. They're also not great for the environment by (in most cases) mandating the presence and upkeep of conventional lawns, which are, ecologically, one of the worst things you can plant. Try planting an eco friendly native grass lawn or a garden of edible crops and you'll get fined (or sent to jail, seriously). They have also been known to impede the installation of things like rainwater collection systems or rooftop solar panels.
