How did the COVID "race for space" change the area where you live?

I'm not living in the UK and am curious to know how places have changed since COVID. If coastal and rural areas suddenly became more popular, has that interest ebbed? With more people WFH, has it changed the face of places that were once considered remote?

When I did live in the UK, I was close to open fields and would go for long walks, rarely meeting another soul. During COVID, apparently, there were mounted police trying to control the crowds!

I'm just trying to get a feel for how things have changed and whether it will ever go back to the way it was.

Maybe that too ..but definitely people in general throwing rubbish away and not in bin... McDonald's, greggs bags, pizza boxes, drinks containers, its just filthy and lazy..poor mother nature. I must notice it more because im rural

Not much change here, rural Perthshire, for a while the beaches at local lochs looked like brighton and were rammed but that’s died back down. SomI park in peace again.
