Proponents of the bill say it would be necessary because they currently have a real scourge of abandoned vehicles in the city, and you cannot get license plate information when they've been backed into a driveway. Do you think this sounds like a good solution?

Owners of said vehicles would have the option of making a clearly visible sign for the front of the vehicle, with the plate information on it, or they could face a fine. If you typically back your car into your driveway and this law was passed where you live, what would you do?
I'd start parking the other way.

Do you think homeowners should be able to keep abandoned vehicles (or other non-working objects like refrigerators) on their private property?
Of course. That's the whole point of private property, you can do what you want.

It depends on how "private" the property is. It's more appropriate in some locations than others.
