The airfields take up a lot of real estate which pushes down population density numbers. Having two military airports (and the empty real estate of East Miramar as a training grounds), plus SAN, plus a cargo/freight airport (Brown Field) plus a municipal airport all within city limits, in addition to those flight paths, helps to limit densities.
