In Europe a closet is furniture, not a built in room.

Not sure if that's wide-spread enough to claim "In Europe".

I currently live in a flat in Barcelona (the European one) and two out of three bedrooms has at least one built-in closet in them.

What other internationally famous Barcelonas are there? I'm sure there might be "a" Barcelona in every Spanish speaking nation, but only one is the Barcelona everyone is thinking about making confusion on international forums unlikely.

Either you’re misunderstanding closet to mean a built-in wardrobe or… I don’t know what other explanation there could be. American closets (i.e: a whole room of 100+ square feet, dedicated to storage of clothes) just don’t exist in “normal” European flats/apartments/homes. You’d be an outlier if you have an American-style closet in Europe. Regardless of how much you’re spending, they just don’t exist in >95% of properties.

I do not think stuffing everyone in ever smaller boxes is a good policy.

Forcing people to spend more money on a bigger box than they want isn't great, either
