Owners could not break even on that investment.

A landlord does not normally do the day to day chores like unstopping a clogged toilet and certainly would never do a chore like unlock a door for a drunk tenant. Chances are the tenant would not even know the landlord.
Think again. In other places, literal mansions have been designated Section 8 because of the large number of bedrooms that are needed for a family, as stated in the last paragraph of this article:

Large gated South Florida homes rented by Section 8 tenants - Sun Sentinel

One thing that helps is the rule here saying that no children under age 19 can live in TV, despite the federal allowance for up to 20% of residents can be under 55.
