A floodplain.
I am uncomfortable, living in a floodplain...
Repeated flooding over the years have given it a very fertile soil.
It causes the loss of space for development of homes and businesses - which can increase land values in the area due to the shortage of space. Also, this flood management scheme does not actually reduce the risk of flooding. Instead, it reduces the effect of it. Another disadvantage is that it can cause dispute over the zoning of land between developers and the Environment Agency for example.
it is bad because the earthquake and now they are poor and they cant build houses
Hmm, let's think about this. Floodplain. Plain: A flat area of land. Flooded: Filled with water. So a floodplain gets filled with water,
The buildings would flood because if the river floods then the floodplain, a floodplain is flat land that is next to a river, made up of alluvium (sand, silt, and clay). When the river overflows, the floodplain is often under water,will/ would flood too, so if the land floods, then, the buildings and businesses on that land will flood too.
An example of a floodplain would be the land around Lake Superior

A floodplain.
Hydrologic floodplain, the land adjacent to the baseflow channel residing below bankfull elevation. It is inundated about two years out of three. Not every stream corridor has a hydrologic floodplain.Topographic floodplain, the land adjacent to the channel including the hydrologic floodplain and other lands up to an elevation based on the elevation reached by a flood peak of a given frequency; for example, the 1-percent (100 year) floodplain.Another way to look at it, in an incising channel, that is to say that the river is cutting into valley, will create two floodplain benches, the lower and narrow one the hydrologic floodplain and the higher and much wider one the topographical floodplain.
It's less hospitable land for humans and mammals.
Most of Bangladesh is a floodplain for the Ganges.
