This article from Urban Land, the magazine of the Urban Land Institute, quotes Eric Maribojoc, executive director for the School of Business' Center for Real Estate Entrepreneurship, on the issue.

Center for Real Estate Entrepreneurship Director Eric Maribojoc comments on the pros and cons of rent control in a story for Florida's Spectrum News 13.

“Northern Virginia has been No. 1 for economic mobility in the past four decades,” said Center for Real Estate Entrepreneurship Director Eric Maribojoc. But the market is not producing enough housing for 60,000 new residents expected next decade.

Since the Center for Real Estate Entrepreneurship’s (CREE) inception a dozen years ago, its advisory board, comprised of the region’s senior leaders from across the real estate industry, has been a staunch supporter of developing the next generation. As both the center and the master’s in real estate development program (MRED) mature, former students who have advanced in the careers and become industry leaders themselves, are coming back to support the program that helped them along their way.
