Is it necessary for public servants to have citizen financed mansions? Couldn’t their private security protect them at their own homes?

Because they can. No, it’s not necessary at all, but it’s a perk of office. Also, a lot of governor’s mansions aren’t actually residences for the governor. Many of them are historical buildings that are used for ceremonial functions and the governor actually lives in a private residence elsewhere.
