Personally, I can't think of anything closer than Adelaide Airport (ADL), only 6.0km from Tarntanyangga to the Terminal Dropoff point (as close as you can get to the terminal with a car). https://goo.gl/maps/JLbaCWcUp4kFTof38
Hong Kong's old Kai Tak would have been close (depending on where you count the 'centre' of Hong Kong to be) but that's long gone.
Are there any others that even come close?
(only rule I'll stipulate is that it has to be a decent-sized city 50k+ population, rural towns with 5 houses and a dusty airstrip in their backyards don't count)

YTZ to downtown Toronto is comparable, as is LAS to the Strip. It's a much more pleasant walk for much more of the year in San Diego, however, so this gets my vote. If they ever rebuild Meigs Field, though, I think KCGX would beat them all.

Proof of how close it is: planes landing into SAN have to fly very close to the buildings in downtown San Diego to approach the runway.
