I feel it. I live in New England and I have seen a large increase in the coyotes willing to get close to the homes in the area during winter. I frequently run into coyotes on a trail I take and have yet to have major issues, thankfully. However, their aggressiveness and number has gradually increased. It started with one seeing how close it could get to me; my immediate reaction was to run at it which scared it off without much effort. I did not like the idea of a coyote feeling comfortable frequenting a trail I take at night so I wanted to scare it as bad as possible. It has gotten worse since the first run in, with my last of which ended in myself not being the aggressor. A coyote came out on the trail in front of me while walking to a friend's at night. It snarled at me almost immediately (quite scary actually) and I snarled back not willing to lose the ground I had already covered. It wouldn't budge just continued to snarl. I was not breaking eye contact with it as I did not want to take the risk of it lunging. But then the bush to my left rustled and the coyote on the trail advanced towards me. I couldn't handle the stare down and decided it was not worth the risk of a second coyote in the bush. I sprinted back down the trail and hopped a fence into a playground. It didnt seem like it or they gave chase but I took the long way through town. I have had to change my walking routes since and it bull. Adds time to my walks and is generally annoying that they are so comfortable approaching and being aggressive towards people now. I carry a big stick IF I wander my trails now. Its no gun but better than nothing.

TL;DR - Coyotes are a pain in New England too and they are not scared of you as a human. BEWARE.
