In my project, the developer who writes a migration that changes
tables is typically the same person who changes the code to work with
the changes.  But, it sounds like you got these migrations from a
third-party source, someone who is responsible for the data but not
the code written to use it?

Anyway, I would recommend checking to see how "property[:area]" gets
used before commenting out the line.  There could be other changes
needed.  You should also check on how the program uses the other
columns that were removed.  (The column names should most likely
appear somewhere in the code).  You might also want to think about
whether your program needs to do something with the new columns.  This
will all probably involve a lot of digging through the code, reading
it, and understanding what it is doing and why.
