Yeah maybe not weird per se, just odd given how common generators are in LA. Would think they’d keep the ability to add an interlock or transfer switch in mind when building houses.
I have the same setup and it made it way easier to add my interlock kit.
Main breaker outside with AC and AC service breakers, then the home breaker panel in my storage room in the garage.
I bought a tandem 30/15 amp breaker for the ac/ac service so they took up 1 slot, then added my 50 amp for the power inlet box. The hardest part was that the breakers on my panel are slightly recessed so the interlock kit needed to be modified a bit.
Now I can just plug the generator in, flip the interlock on, then choose which breakers to power from the sub-panel inside.
Honestly, if I had a traditional panel, I probably would have been too intimidated to DIY.
