That's not actually true: <The reason that you can't have in-ground outhouses in big cities is because the unnatural human density is more than the land can process.> It's true of dense apartment building cities such as Hong Kong where there is no land. But most cities and houses involve some land around them. Soil around nearly all houses can easily absorb daily human waste, though not of course they huge flow of water used to flush toilets.

Composting manure is easy. We used to collect large amounts of horse dung to help fertilize the garden [my parents 50 years ago]. A bit of human poop, sterilized if necessary to avoid risk of disease spread, which I doubt would actually be possible, could easily be composted along with horse poop.

All that's needed is a sensible and convenient design for on-site disposal of human waste. An evaporator could easily reduce urine to nothing much at all. Poop could be disposed of by combustion to air or by dry waste disposal even in large apartment buildings.
