And what proportion of the RVs squatting in Seattle neighborhoods do you think have those systems? Where do you think those squatters are going to dump that waste? My question stands, why would someone expect a different outcome from the actual one?

I feel this every time people complain about homeless people in LA pooping on the sidewalk. They have no legal access to a toilet, so where do you think they are SUPPOSED to poop?

i'm surprised to see someone call on-street parking 'squatting'. squatting is an infringement of private property rights (whether or not justified). i haven't lived in the usa for a long time, but from videos i see on youtube, on-street parking seems to be a nearly universal practice among motor vehicle owners, rather than being considered any infringement on property rights, which sounds like an extremist view similar to those of the 'sovereign citizen' movement i haven't been in seattle this millennium, so i can't do more than guess what the mix is. over 95% of factory-built rvs in the usa have one or another of those systems, and something like 70% of diy rvs. diy rvs almost never have blackwater tanks, always either composting toilets, cassette toilets, or nothing where will campers dump waste? it matters a lot which system we're talking about composting-toilet waste, as i said, can easily go into the normal municipal solid-waste stream, same as disposable diapers, but with less smell and health hazard cassette toilets can be easily emptied into any sewer-connected toilet. when i lived in the usa, most gas stations, supermarkets, and restaurants had toilets with sewer hookups; also highway rest stops and for-profit truck stops (flying j, love's, etc.) also, if you have any friends who have houses, even a single one, you can dump it into their toilet. or pay for a hot-sheets motel room once a week and use theirs blackwater-tank systems, you're gonna have to drive to the koa kampground or a truck stop 2–4 times a year
