Traveler's Row in the Mid-Market Tenderloin

One or more streets in The Tenderloin could become the Khaosan Road of San Francisco.

Wikipedia Excerpt:

"Khaosan Road in Bangkok has developed into a world famous "backpacker ghetto". It offers cheap accommodation, ranging from 'mattress in a box' style hotels to reasonably priced 3-star hotels."

By subsidizing the education of locals in travel-related services they might then support Traveler's Row with souvenir shops, noodle shops and tours etc. This might inspire some people to raise themselves out of the Tenderloin cycle of downward spiral.

By developing a Traveler's Row with the community, tourists and locals will benefit.
