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

It’s not about security. It’s about ease of access. The home of a high executive like a governor or president is going to be a place with people potentially coming and going all the time, perhaps even in the middle of the night.

It’s easy if they live in a kind of special building that’s half-home and half-office, that’s not just on some random street where all this traffic at all hours is going to bother the neighbors and potentially be difficult to access
