asbestos jobs in ny

My family & I would like 2 move 2 AZ from upstate NY, wondering how cost of living is & any recomended cities?
We were interested in the Tucson area, but when looking at houses to buy the market out there is insane. Here in NY for $100,000 I could buy an amazing home, what I’ve seen so far in AZ is mobile homes for $50,000,000-$250,000. Or if you do find an actual house it’s $300,000+. Just about anything less is something that redefines a fixer upper. Is the job market good there? Can a person actually make enough money to be able to afford $300,000 mortgages? I know I can easily find a job with my work background, but my husband is an asbestos handler…is that a job that is available in AZ?
AZ has gotten incredibly expensive in all the areas surrounding Phoenix such as Scottsdale, Peoria, Mesa and all those places. The closer to a city, the more you’ll pay. Unfortunately everone bailed the big cities and went there and Nevada and it drove the prices through the roof. I’ve been looking there for years. They claim that the median home price is much lower than what it actually is. And most of the time, you are paying HOA’s because of all the golf courses so watch out for that. With all the new homes and new construction, I wouldn’t think that there’s too many places left over from the 70s that haven’t had the asbestos taken up to current codes but I could be wrong.
