Assumption junction

Just read this (and changed it). I am copy editor; hear me fix your shit!

"The city is heavily populated with outdoor types, but also professionals who work at major companies such as Amazon.com."

Commence overreaction! WHAT?!? Are being outdoorsy and a professional mutually exclusive?!? UM ... DELETED! It will now read:

"The city is heavily populated with outdoor types, and professionals who work at major companies such as Amazon.com."


I would omit the comma after types, but I didn't want to make it sound like the outdoor types all work at Amazon.
