Owners of unliveable Bella Vista homes say they are feeling humbled and embarrassed by the outpouring of community support and sympathy for their plight.
From family and friends providing meals night after night, to bars shouting drinks as homeowners gathered after tense council meetings, to messages from strangers offering theirspare rooms - support has come in many different forms.
