Technically you do get more cars in the "same length of street", but
they take up about twice as much width, so the amount of parking space
used up is actually about the same (if you had two rows of parallel
parked cars).

Angle / perpendicular parking is usually done on busier / narrower
streets because it is faster to park in them than using parallel
parking (which causes hold-ups as the driver tries to back in). You do
get a similar hold-up when the angled parker tries to back out, but
most people are so hopeless at parallel parking that it takes them far
longer and multiple attempts.
