Lunchtime Poll: Is being a CityVille freeloader the way to go?

How much Energy have you stocked up in CityVille? The CityVille forums are buzzing at the moment with an interesting debate over a controversial play style. Forum goer "unscathed" writes, "Why should you need energy if friends can do everything for you? I'm now at 1625 and i have 500+ in my inventory. Just wait for a few neighbors, then stop harvesting, collecting money and building, they will do it for you!"

A recent update allows friends to help one another complete quests and gain profits through visits with no Energy cost. Couple that with +3 Energy batteries being thrown around for free like they're potato chips and you get players like this. When you think about it, if everyone played this way Energy would never be an issue again. (Though, it would definitely be a way not to be a good neighbor.) But could we live with ourselves unabashedly exploiting the game? Later in the thread another the same user boasts 3,136 Energy using the same tactic. So, now we ask you:

Is being a CityVille freeloader the way to go?
What a bunch of losers! Just play the game the way it was meant to be played.Until Zynga does something about it, you can find me raking in the Energy.I don't care as long as you cheaters keep staffing my buildings.

CityVille Deluxe Warehouse: Everything you need to know

At this point in the CityVille game, you've likely ran out of room to put all your stuff. (Unless you've been expanding to compensate.) Thankfully, Zynga has provided us with a place to store extra houses, businesses, decorations and Community Buildings: The Deluxe Warehouse. This new building will hold up to 24 items when fully upgraded. It might not sound like a lot, but consider the items you're probably going to store. Yeah, it's big, and we have all the details to build it behind the break.

The Deluxe Warehouse Goal:

    Have a warehouse that has been upgraded to 4 staff members.
    Click on your Warehouse to upgrade it to a Deluxe version.
    Store a Residence in your newly upgraded Deluxe Warehouse.


Funny enough, this Goal is also the building requirements for completing the Deluxe Warehouse. Just make sure you have a basic Warehouse with four staff members. Then, just upgrade it to the Deluxe edition and throw a home in there. It's that simple. However, there are a number of things to know about the Deluxe Warehouse before using it.

Deluxe Warehouse Upgrade
Buildings with pending collections will lose that money, XP and whatever else might have been in there if stored in the Deluxe Warehouse. Just remember to collect from buildings before storing them. To use the Deluxe Warehouse directly, find a button in the Tools menu above the Build button. Finally, you're ready to run the Deluxe Warehouse, but here are few more pointers:
