What provoked 'MoMA stabber' Gary Cabana doesn’t seem to have had much to do with his housing situation. Why do so many people want that to be the reason? bridgetgillard reports

Photo-Illustration: Curbed; Photo: Uncredited/AP/Shutterstock By his own account, Gary Cabana usually felt better after a trip to the movies. “My apologies folks,” he wrote in February on Twitter, where the 60-year-old New Yorker obsessively shared film and television reviews, posted about awards shows, and ranted about politics under the moniker Cine in the City.
Cabana’s housing status became a meaningful plot point once it was discovered that his most recent address was at a West 43rd Street building called the Times Square, owned and operated by an affordable-housing provider called Breaking Ground. The Daily Mail called it a “charity run shelter for formerly homeless people or people who are mentally ill.
His Missouri State friend says Cabana moved to the city in the early 2000s, when he told her he “spent time in Bellevue” — but nothing more than that. “It was a nervous-breakdown kind of thing,” as far as she can recall. In one of the Facebook posts he wrote after the attack, Cabana said that “Bipolar is a tough road to hoe,” but he had not disclosed any kind of specific disorder to the friends I spoke to.
Cabana’s cinephile friend says she doesn’t know whether he had a bipolar disorder but confirmed that he had lost income from ushering gigs. “If he really is bipolar, I thought, Well, crap. Maybe he was on medication and he can’t afford it,” she tells me. “Maybe he lost his medical, or maybe he never was on medication but his bipolar got worse.
